When you get this amazing VR headset to play your favorite VR videos, you will notice with a pity that HTC Vive does not support MKV videos. Then the best solution is a professional VR video converter to convert MKV to HTC Vive supported formats for convenient playback.



In fact, Handbrake can repackage MKVs using different codecs for HTC Vive playback. It supports encoding of several audio tracks, and the audio quality is also quite favorable. But sometimes the output audio maybe a little bit low and it is uncomfortable when you on trip or in crowding space without sound amplifier built in. Worse still, it only supports converting MKV to MP4 or M4V, not into 3D format. In this case, a Handbrake alternative for Windows users to encode MKV is needed.
