Can I play MKV movies on HTC U23?

Having problems watching MKV videos on your HTC U23? To play video files on a mobile device, your media must follow some very specific guidelines, otherwise you will encounter issues one or another. In this tutorial, we explain a workaround to convert MKV to H.264 MP4 for viewing on HTC U23 fluently.

If you’re like me, you’ll probably have several MKV videos in your HTC U23. MKV is a container format. The stock player of HTC U23 doesn’t support playing MKV files yet. Fortunately, such a problem is solved by using a third party media player app. My favorite choice for playing MKV files on HTC U23 is VLC media player - mostly because it has built-in support and doesn’t require that you install anything else. But sadly this way doesn’t work all the time, especially when you try to play a .MKV file with high bitrates or high resolutions. In that case, I would recommend converting MKV to H.264 encoded MP4 first. This requires a helpful MKV to HTC U23 converter. The following guide will walk you through how to do this via using such a converter app.
