Play MKV movies on iPad Air/iPad Pro (no replies)

Nowadays, many movies are made as MKV format on the internet. That’s because MKV format won’t lose any video quality or audio channel when you encapsulate BD/DVD movies. There is another important reason is MKV is an open source format.

Playing MKV movies on iPad Air/iPad Pro is still a big problem to many Apple fans. iPad Air/iPad Pro still doesn’t support for playing MKV movies natively. 

Solution 1: Install a MKV player in App Store

You can click here and it will take you to the download page of VLC for Mobile. VLC is a free media player which supports for playing MKV files on iPad Air/iPad Pro.

.
Solution 2: Transcode MKV movies to MP4 format

This is an alternative to VLC. What you need is just an video converter, which can trasncode MKV movies to MP4 format. Here I recommend Pavtube Video Converter for Mac (Windows version) to enable you to watch MKV movies on iPad Air/iPad Pro.
