When you get this amazing VR headset to play your favorite VR videos, you will notice with a pity that HTC Vive does not support MKV videos. Then the best solution is a professional VR video converter to convert MKV to HTC Vive supported formats for convenient playback.



In fact, Handbrake can repackage MKVs using different codecs for HTC Vive playback. It supports encoding of several audio tracks, and the audio quality is also quite favorable.
