M2V to MKA

M2V is a video category file format, also called MPEG-2 Video. It supports video with a tighter time constraint and interlaced display. The encoded speed at which data is transmitted may be of the order of 40 Mbps (for storage and transmission). It may be higher for professional use in video production. Large frame sizes do not support HD resolution. MPEG-2 format is compatible with MPEG-1. The MPEG-2 format is used mainly for the consumer level of video broadcasting - for example, DVB. And for storage - for example, DVD. But they are also used for professional applications. Say for storing video in a studio. Files with the extension .m2v are necessary if you are preparing a video for burning to DVD using specialized programs. There will be no sound in such a file. This encoding method also involves the .m2a file, where the sound is stored. Then this pair of files (.m2v and .m2a) will be sent to the authoring program line. The program will output them without recoding in the program stream (MPEG 2 PS). There is one caveat. When the weight of these files is 4.3 GB or more, then you need to transcode this file and reduce the bitrate. So when you create * .m2v, you must first select the correct bitrate.

MKA is an audio container format. It supports some types of audio compression algorithms. The .mka file extension belongs to the Matroska format (Matröška, Matryoshka). Thus, it serves to specifically designate the file type "Matroska Audio File" (Matroska Audio File). Matroska is an open cross-platform standard. It is a modern extensible multimedia container format. It is error resistant. It is suitable for streaming HTTP / RTP. Supports multiple subtitle tracks, audio, video. The Matroska standard is supported in the native mode by many software players and hardware devices, including, for example, receivers, televisions, smartphones, etc. A .mka file is a regular Matroska container that has one or more audio tracks. They are encoded by any of the supported codecs. In most cases, AAC and AC3 (Dolby Digital) codecs are used. Playing a .mka file needs the support of the standard Matroska container format. But not only. There must also be a specific audio codec with which the tracks are encoded. Often, MKA files are used as external audio tracks for movies in other languages. Or with other content, or with sound quality. Say multi-channel sound, director’s comments. .Mka audio files are used as containers for high-quality multi-channel music.
