MKV Won't Play on Samsung Blu-ray Player? Solution

[jolinann622520]

I’m the owner of Samsung UBD-K8500, what I wanna do is to add and play some MKV files on Samsung Blu-ray player. Unfortunately, Samsung Blu-ray player can’t playback MKV perfectly. Based on my experience, even some MKV files are supported by Samsung Blu-ray player, it plays audio only no image...

After searching high and low, I’ve worked out the method to transfer and watch MKV on Samsung Blu-ray player smoothly. It might be hard to find someone with direct playback experience with media in MKV on Samsung Blu-ray player due to the video/audio codec it contains. Chances are that the audio is in some of these MKVs not supported, a conversion could well fix that.

There are tons of video converter apps out there. Here we highly recommned Brorsoft Video Converter Ultimate to get the work done.
