How to Play MKV Files on Windows 10/macOS High Sierra?

MKV is an industry standard, not all media players support it yet, even though support is rapidly growing. There are two main options for playing MKV files on your computer. These include, using an MKV compatible media player or downloading the appropriate codecs.

Method 1: Download Codecs for Compatibility (Do It Carefully)

If you would prefer to use Windows Media Player or another Windows player that doesn’t already support MKV files, you can install some codes to make your media players support MKV.

Head to Ninite at ninite.com, clicking on the CCCP option, and then clicking Get Installer. Once you’ve downloaded that file, run it to perform the install. The reason we suggest using Ninite is because almost all codecs available for download on the internet are bundling crapware, or worse, malware. The good folks at Ninite make it their mission to provide downloads completely free of any bundled nonsense — their reputation depends on it.

Method 2: Play MKV Files with VLC video player (Recommend)

The best choice to play MKV files is to use a VLC media player. VLC supports to play MKV on both Windows and Mac. Not MKV, VLC also supports to play HEVC video files as the best HEVC Player.

1) Navigating to the official download page at videolan.org to download VLC.

2) Once you have downloaded the appropriate file simply run it to install VLC. The entire installation process should take no more than two to three minutes. 

3) To associate MKV files with VLC, you can right-click on one of them, click Properties, and then the Change button on the General page to switch out the default application. Find VLC media player in the list, and select it.

4) Once you have set the file association, simply double-click on the MKV file, and watch the video play with VLC media player.
