VLC media player (commonly known as VLC) is a portable, free and open-source, cross-platform media player andstreaming media server written by the VideoLAN project.
When you got some MKV videos, and want to play them in VLC media player. You would meet some issues, such as: MKV audio can not be identified by VLC Media Player, subtitles load error, play slowly and so on. The reason for these problems is that MKV is more complex encoding.
To solve the problem, there is an universal solution: Install appropriate codec pack. There are various free codec packs online which will allow us to decode and play MKV files. The disadvantage of this approach is that you have to download a lot of codecs but if you are only trying to play one type of video file. Another shortcoming is these codecs not always work well.
