what is a .kmv file? How do I open it?

I downloaded a movie that's in kmv format but what the heck is kmv? How do I open it? Thanks.

 

zhl203,
Did you mean .MKV?

You can either use Media Player Classic or VLC Player.

 

or free ZOOM player

 

Did a search for KMV came up with this:

yes, it's .mkv file. Actually I did a search on AfterDawn but I don't know why I didn't get to the pages Berryone provided. Maybe it's the keywords. Anyway, thanks all for your help. I downloaded VLC and I tried playing the movie with chinese subtitle but the subtitle shows up as square boxes: When I open the subtitle file (.srt)as text file, the chinese characters are displayed correctly, but when I open it thru VLC, they show as squared boxes. What else do I need to install to solve this problem? Thanks.

 

hmm perhaps VLC doesnt have the font for chinese installed?

tryed any other players?

 

no luck with other player. My PC froze when installing Zoom because it tried downloading stuffs from the internet, so I ended it forcely. So when I tried playing the mkv movie, I got "unable to play. This maybe due to a corrupt file, missing filters, etc.". MPC won't let me load the subtitle.

I also thought of burning the movie to DVD/VCD. Now the question is: How do I burn MKV movie to DVD or VCD directly along WITH the subtitle? Do I need to convert it first? What softwares will do the job? Thanks.

 

convertxtodvd load mkv and subs pulled in on auto

 

:~) If you don't have ConvertxtoDVD and don't want to buy it, use DVD Flick.
