Play MKV files with VLC Media Player Without Any Hassle

VLC, this open source and cross-platform multimedia player, is very popular among users and powerful on playing DVDs, CDs, various videos, even streams. It can open and play MKV files on Mac El Capitan and Windows 10. But since MKV is a video container that can contain various video and audio codec, so it will be common to meet MKV playback issue with VLC like below:

1. My VLC can’t open some of my MKV files.
2. Only video display in VLC while play MKV files, why?
3. Strangely, the sound and video was unsynchronized while playing a MKV file with VLC. But when playing MP4, it will be file.
4. Why no audio play when I am playing MKV in VLC?

The reason that VLC can’t play MKV file finely is perhaps the code issue. The video or audio codec in MKV file is not supported by VLC. In this case, you can choose to convert MKV to VLC more supported MP4 files with a video converter
