File Description

MKV, short for Matroska Video, is an open-source video container format that supports several types of audio and video codecs and unlimited video, audio, picture and subtitle tracks. It may include .SRT, .SSA, or USF (Universal Subtitle Format) subtitles and VobSub subtitles from DVDs.

MKV is popular in the anime fan-subbing community since it supports multiple audio and subtitle tracks in the same file.

Matroska derives from the Russian word Matryoshka, which means nesting doll (the popular Russian cylindrical-shaped doll within a doll, also known as a babushka doll).
