Windows 10: Windows 10 explorer issues on mkv files

Hi,

I've try the thumbnails option and VLC active, like someone i have problem with 10% of my MKV cause a loooong freeze.

If someone have now a solution... i'm open to hear it.

Thanks *Smile

 

The only time I've seen .mkv files used is on torrent sites *Wink , What program actually uses them?

Or use winff to convert them to something more friendly if windows 10 doesn't like mkv

 

i think that this thread is about the same problems mentioned here:
Slow refresh of icons - Windows 10 Forums

i just posted a reply there but also could not find a solution when clicking on the problematic mkvs. just for the slow loading when opening the folder that contains the mkv.

 

Since you asked. *Wink

What is Matroska? | Matroska

MKV is a flexible, open standard video file format that has quickly become the preferred file extension for high definition video on the Internet. The MKV container can include video, audio, and features such as alternate audio tracks, multilingual subtitles and chapter points, as well as rich metadata including cover art, ratings, descriptions and more. MKV offers a richer media experience than any other current format, and that’s why we chose it as the file container for DivX Plus® video.

In addition to the above it's a flexable, convenient, fast way to rip a large DVD/Blu-Ray collection to NAS for streaming to different devices over LAN while retaining the "disc features."

They're playable with pretty much any modern media player and will stream from most device oriented media servers. (Twonky etc...)

Anecdotally I have a large collection and have not experienced this OP's difficulties. May not be a "Windows problem" per se....
