MKV to Nokia Lumia 920-Add/Transfer MKV files to Lumia 920 for playback with MP4 video format

by Lydia Zhu officer
The Nokia Lumia 920 is one of the very first smartphones to come running Windows Phone 8, and as such Nokia has equipped it with what the company calls PureView which means that it’s supposed to have an awesome camera. For this new generation of Lumia, Nokia has kept the original Lumia style and manufacturing technology. We can find it more beautiful than before, and overall Nokia has done a great job with the design again.


Playing 1080p videos is not a problem for the Lumia 920, but that was to be expected as we know all too well that the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chip does this very well. During playback, the user interface is rather classic and easy to use: just tap on the screen to get more options (back/play+pause/forward) and you tap again to make it go away. Nothing special.

Q: Can Nokia Lumia 920 play .mkv file? How to make it possible?
"I was a user of Lumia 920, I found out it can play .mkv files on my new Nokia Lumia 920, but it can only play the audio. As I used mkv convert which works fine on videos for my Surface but on the Nokia I get a codec error. Even I tried put these on the phone using the Nokia convert option but that is actually converting the file which is far too long and not a ideal work around."

A: Video and audio formats supported by Nokia Lumia 920:
-MPEG-4, H.263, ASF, WMV, 3GP, VC-1, M4V, H.264, AVC
-M4A, WMA 10 Pro, ASF, AAC, WMA 9, eAAC+, AAC +, WAV, HE-AAC, MP3, AAC-LC, AMR
