How to Fix an MKV File

The Matroska (MKV) video file format is usually reserved for larger, hi-definition video files that are created from Blu-ray and HDDVD discs. These files can sometimes become corrupted during transfer from one hard disk to another. This is usually because they are so large and the retrieving hard drive might go to sleep in the middle of the transfer. Fixing an MKV file is very simple, but can only be done by taking the file apart (splitting the audio from the video) and mixing it back together. You will need to use two products to fix an MKV file.
