It is intended to serve as a universal format for storing common multimedia content, like movies or TV shows. Matroska is similar in concept to other containers like AVI, but is entirely open in specification, with implementations consisting mostly of open source software. Matroska file types are .MKV for video (with subtitles and audio), .MKA for audio-only files and .MKS for subtitles only.

DV is a format for recording and playing back digital video, in its smaller tape form factor MiniDV, has since become a standard for home and semi-professional video production; it is sometimes used for professional purposes as well, such as filmmaking and electronic news gathering (ENG).

DV now enables filmmakers to produce movies inexpensively, and is strongly associated with independent film and citizen journalism.

But don’t worry about that, Mac MKV to DV Converter can offer you to convert MKV to DVeasily, and allow you to edit MKV files with its powerful editting function, for example, clipping MKV videos, merging several MKV files, setting size of video frame by cropping.
