Solutions to Chromecast MKV Videos from Mac

First, simply rename MKV to .MP4

Well, yes, it's just that simple, at least on my computer. Renaming a .MKV file to a .MP4 seems to trick Chrome to treat a MKV file as a MP4 file so it plays smoothly without any trouble.

Second, install VLC media player

If renaming doesn't work, you will need a proper media player plug-in installed and enabled. If you already have Chrome browser installed, installing VLC media player will install a VLC media player plugin for Chrome automatically.

Third, convert MKV to Chromecast supported MP4 video

If neither of the options described above works for you, especially hearing no sound on some of the MKV files, here is another one you can try.

To do this, the most useful program as far as I know is Brorsoft Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate . It can help you convert MKV files to MP4 for playing with Chromecast easily. Besides MP4, it also supports ripping DVD, Blu-ray, Video_TS folder as well as ISO to MOV, AVI, WMV, MOV, FLV, MTS, MXF, XAVC/S… without quality loss. All you need to do is to move the mouse following the instructions. If you are a Mac user, turn to iMedia Converter for Mac. Now follow the below guide to finish converting MKV for playback on Chromecast with the best quality.
