MKV is a special AVI-like audio / video container that stores a huge amount of information. The MKV format is an open source project by Matroska designed to create a unified standard for multimedia containers on the PC. MKV is a multimedia container that combines in one file: video, sound, subtitles, pictures, various service information, and most importantly, the possibility of creating a media menu in the MKV container is declared. It supports such formats as: mkv - responsible for video files, mks - responsible for subtitles and mka - sound. The format is open source, which means anyone can use it and make changes. MKV has earned a good reputation due to its resistance to various bugs and errors and the possibility of emergency recovery of files, even if damaged. Matroska Multimedia Container is an open standard free container format, a file format that can contain an unlimited number of video, audio, images or subtitles in a single file. It is intended to be used as a universal storage format for common multimedia content such as movies or TV shows. It is popular for its high quality and relatively small size. The format is not as widespread as MP4 and AVI. Therefore, sometimes the question may arise which MKV player should be used to view these files.

Lovers of digital music, which can be listened to on a computer, modern player or mobile gadget, often come across files with the .wma extension. A file with a WMA file extension is a Windows Media Audio file. Microsoft created this format to compete with MP3 and is often used for music storage and online streaming. A WMA file contains an audio recording or music composition in a format developed by Microsoft. The file stores the track and the metadata describing it: track title, artist name, album name and music genre. Most often, the abbreviation WMA refers to the WMA Standard codec - it was originally developed as a competitor to MP3. As a result of considerable efforts on the part of Mirosoft, WMA can now be called one of the most common formats after MP3. The WMA format is distinguished by a high compression rate of audio data, support for DRM protection, multi-channel surround sound encoding without loss of quality. The performance of WMA (Windows Media Audio) itself is not that bad at all. Thus, the manufacturer claims that a compressed music file with a bitrate of 160 kbps is in no way inferior in quality to an MP3 file with a similar rate of 256 kbps. The WMA format is known for its bugs. If, for some reason, some part of the .WMA file is damaged, then listening to the file becomes problematic, both a couple of tens of seconds before the place of damage, and after.
