MKV (.MKV), a new video and audio container format with several new features like support for OGG audio, Variable Frame rate Video appears in the world. It aims to become the standard of multimedia container formats. It was derived from a project called MCF, but differentiates from it significantly because it is based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language), a binary derivative of XML. EBML enables the Matroska Development Team to gain significant advantages in terms of future format extensibility, without breaking file support in old parsers. Matroska (MKV) is an open standards project. This means for personal use it is absolutely free to use and that the technical specifications describing the bitstream are open to everybody, even to companies that would like to support it in their products. The source code of the libraries developed by the MDT is licensed under GNU L-GPL.
To many users in the world, MKV means the video can be seen very clearly by using this kind of format. But we may sometimes lose the MKV files by some reasons and want to get them back. Today let's figure out the reasons and find ways to achieve MKV files recovery operation.
MKV files are stored in the hard disk of Mac and in memory card of mobile. There are many situations when we are unable to access MKV files. These files are lost due to following reasons.
1. Human Error
One of the biggest causes of MKV files loss is human error. Human error can consist of accidentally formatting a Mac hard drive or memory card, unknowingly deleting a file or folder and damage to the Mac.
2. Virus
Certain types of viruses, Trojans and other types of malware can corrupt a Mac system and cause data become either lost or unusable. If you connect your memory card with MKV inside to a Mac which is already infected with virus, your MKV files may be lost due to the virus too.
3. Hardware Problem
A hardware problem, such as a bad hard drive, can cause a significant amount of data loss. A hard drive that has a bad sector is unable to write data to that area. If data was on a sector that can no longer be accessed, it most likely is lost. The most typical type of hardware problem is an error with the hard disk drive.
