As we know, MKV (MatrosKa Video) is a very popular file format for High Definition video. It can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitles tracks in one file. Due to its complexities, sometimes you will find you cannot play MKV videos properly or miss audio when playing MKV on Surface RT/Pro Tablet.
