MKV (Matroska video File) is a video container format that supports more than one audio and subtitle tracks at the same file. It is based on Extensible Binary Meta Language. It supports several video and audio compression formats. The difference between MKV file types with most other video extensions is that it is a container, not a codec.
AAC is an audio file format that works similar to MP3 but compresses more than MP3. It significantly reduces the audio file size without losing the quality. To reduce the file size it uses the MPEG-4 standard to cut off the low frequency sounds that cannot be heard in a human’s ear.
