Convert MKV to MOV,MP4,ProRes on Mac OS Sierra

MKV format is a very popular video format that is supported by the majority of media players. But Mac's MKV support is not that good and many Mac users may suffer stuttering playback when watching MKV with preinstalled QuickTime, especially after upgrading macOS 10.12 Sierra. This article will share two easy methods to play MKV on MacOS Sierra, so that you can have a smooth MKV playback on MacOS with ease.



Method 1. Play MKV on macOS Sierra with QuickTime Component [No 100% work guarantee]

Perian is a open-source software app that makes viewing your media files easier. Basically, Perian enables QuickTime application support for a wide variety of media files. It installs easily as long as you have no software already installed that can conflict with Perian. So, before installing Perian, you need to remove all QuickTime Components installed on your Mac, like FFusion, Xvid Delegate, 3ivX, DivX, DivX Decoder, XviD, msmpeg4v1, msmpeg4v2, AviImporter, EX_M4S2, Casio AVI Importer, AC3 Codec, and MatroskaQT. 

Download Perian

Bottom Line: Perian does not work with QuickTime 10 or above, and the development team for Perian will cease updates in the near future to move to another project. Still, if you use earlier versions of QuickTime 7 and run into file format issues (especially on migrated files), then Perian is a must-have. Its support for a huge number of file formats makes this a useful utility for most people. 

Plus, the latest version 1.2.3 of Perian doesn't work on Mac OS X Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan and the latest macOS Sierra because Perian requires installation of Quicktime 7, which doesn't exist for Mavericks and above. 

Method 2. You can try other MKV Players for Mac [Not always work]

1. VLC Player 

This app is a popular Mac MKV Player. Beware though that the quality of MKV playback with VLC player certainly needs an improvement, and the app itself consumes quite a bit of CPU memory. 

Download Mac 

2. UMPlayer 

Universal Media Player (UMPlayer) like VLC is an open-source media player which has inbuilt codecs to play .mkv, .avi and can play .webm video on Mac OS. 

Download Mac

3. MPlayerX 

In comparison to the VLC media player, MPlayerX is not that popular. However, it is still one of the most widely used video players among the Mac users. It plays most of the popular file formats including the MPEG, VOB, AVI, ASF, WMA, WMV, VIVO, QT, MOV, MP4, OGG, OGM, RealMedia, Matroska, NUT, NuppelVideo and much more.  

Download Mac  

Bottom Line: If you want to play MKV on QuickTime and run macOS Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, not all players will work perfectly, for example, the video is too dark, choppy; the video and audio can not sync; some subtitles can not be played; some DVD or other video file can not be played; some free player crashes.

Worse still, players like VLC can play lots of video formats, like MP4, AVI, MKV, AVI, WMV, etc, but not all of them, like AAF, DAT, MXF, etc. 

Method 3. Convert MKV videos to macOS Sierra supported formats [Recommend]

So to avoid MKV players related problems and to save time in looking for third-party QuickTime components, the alternative method here is to convert the MKV video format to the macOS Sierra QuickTime supported video format, such as MOV.   

Although there are some free video converter, like VisualHub, Handbrake, etc., to convert MKV videos, they are usually hard to use and only support limited formats. For an easy to use MKV video converter, Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac deserves you try. It can do the MKV file conversion like a charm, without any hassle and supports the latest macOS Sierra and Windows 10.

However, when we get some H.265 to NAS, sometimes we can't get the H.265 files playback from NAS like on media player, smart TV, let's look at some issues: 

a) The NAS drive has a built in media server that doesn't recognize H.265 files 
b) I cannot seem to stream "on the fly" to the Apple TV either - it isn't displayed on the list of streaming clients. It would also be cumbersome to go to the computer each time I wish to watch a video. If I stream a transcoded H.265 files to the TV, it does work, but then the sound plays through the Samsung TV and not through the stereo speakers - no surround sound, etc, and terrible flat-TV speakers.
