Kernel Video Repair - Repair Corrupt And Broken MKV Video Files

Reasons And Solutions To Repair Corrupt Or Broken MKV Video File Manually

Let’s know how to repair an MKV file manually by discussing a few manual hacks and methods:

1. Download or Transfer MKV File again Sometimes the problem is not with the video file, but it is with the medium you used to get it into your system. If you have transferred or copied the video from a pen drive or any other source and the transfer was not successful, then your file may get broken, and you can face this issue. Similarly, if you have downloaded the video from somewhere and the download was not successful or complete, then also the file may get broken, and you can face the issue. It is suggested that you download or transfer the video again, successfully and completely this time, and check if the problem persists.
2. Right Codec for the File Format Another reason why you can’t play an MKV video in your media player is that you do not have the right codec for it. As we have already discussed, an MKV file isn’t playable in every media player and it is because not every player has the right codec set for MKV files. In this case, you have two solutions for your media file:
   1. Download the right Codec set for it
   2. Play on any MKV supportive media player

   You can easily play MKV files on VLC Media Player, MKV Player, etc. or try downloading codecs from a trusted source.

3. Update Display Drivers of the System If you have everything right at the place (like your file is complete and has no issue and your media player supports MKV file), and still, you are not able to play the video. It might be happening due to the outdated version of Display Drivers or Video card Drivers. Try updating your display driver and play the video again.
