At the very beginning, we need to figure out what do we need to play MKV on Mac.
On the one hand, we need MKV files.
The Matroska Multimedia Container is an open standard, free container format. MKV in 720p or 1080p is often seen by us.
On the other hand, we need MKV player Mac (software)

The Quicktime can’t play MKV video directly, but MP4 can [I have tried]. So we can change the MKV to MP4 or insert Perian on Mac.
Method 2: Rip MKV to MP4 with f2fsoft Blu-ray Ripper Software
f2fsoft Video Convert Software can rip MKV to MP4 fast and safe.
Method 3: Plug in Perian
Perian can run on Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later, with it, we can play MKV AVI, FLV, DivX and more on QuickTime.
Step 1: search Perian in Google, you will see Perian for Mac, open it and download the Perian.
Step 2: once installed the Perian, you can play MKV with the QuickTime.

In my opinion, if we metaphor playing MKV on Mac as getting into a room, Perian functions as a window, if you don’t have key, you can use it to get into a room while f2fsoft Blu-ray Player is the key, you can easily open the door with it. f2fsoft Blu-ray Ripper looks like you break the door by violence.
