Best 5 MKV to Android Smartphone converter

MKV is a video container that can hold multiple subtitle and audio tracks. Sometimes, when you want to play a video on a device with subtitle, you have to make the video MKV format. For example, in the test, Open Hour Chameleon only can play MKV files with forced subtitle. But even with these benefits, many people still don’t like MKV cause few devices/media players can play MKV files without any hassle. Android phones, having the most users, also has MKV playback issue.

So many people can’t play MKV on Android smartphones with audio fine cause MKV may contains DTS audio, AC3 audio. But Samsung no longer pays for the AC3 license, so they cannot be decoded by the stock player. And DTS audio playback is also problematic because of licensing issues. To play MKV files on Android phone without any hassle, you can try installing some other media player like VLC, MX Player etc. As far as the default android media player is concerned I am pretty much it is unable to play the mkv format.

MX Player – MX Player is the first Android video player which supports multi-core decoding. With it, you can play MKV, MP4, WMV, AVI, etc on Android phone and Android tablet.
