The Matroska (MKV) file format is a relatively new file format, which has a larger storage capacity for video, audio, and digital images. Unfortunately, this format is not yet supported by most video and music players. Video Object Files (VOB), on the other hand, are compatible with most video and music devices. So if you intend to enjoy digital video, audio and MKV files on your iPad, Blackberry, netbook, game consoles and other devices, you need to convert MKV to VOB.
What is MKV video format and what is special about it? In addition to the larger storage capacity mentioned above, MKV is a free, open standard container format. Its open nature makes implementation possible using mostly open source software. Matroska file types are .MKV for video, .MKA for audio, and .MKS for subtitles only. MKV files can be played directly on Windows if you have the latest CCCP package from the Matroska download page installed.
