MKV Apps on iPhone
If you want to play MKV on iPhone without any conversion, you'd better to turn to some players for iPhone. Here we list three of them for you:
- VLC for iOS is designed to play various kinds of video files on iPhone freely, with which you can play multiple audio tracks (including 5.1), and subtitles tracks (including SSA!)
- Remux MKV Player lets you watch your Xvid and MKV videos on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch anywhere, no internet connection required.
- Infuse is another iOS App to allow you enjoy MKV on iPhone smoothly.
The shortcoming of these iOS players is that they are only compatible with several or dozens of video and audio formats but not all. Once the file you want to watch on iPhone is not supported, you still have to convert it to iPhone formats.
