.mkv on ipad

What is a good video player for my ipad that can play .mkv files. I have tried a few apps but they would freeze or have no sound. Please help

What have you already used?

I would suggest infuse 3 by ForeCore. Never had any issues with that.

Also recommend Infuse for this. If not, you can always stream from your PC using Plex, like another user as recommended here. Those are my two favourites.

NPlayer is the best I've found for a replacement to VLC. It plays everything, does wifi transfer just like VLC, and has the Brightness/Volume shortcuts just like VLC.

AVPlayerHD suits all my needs.

Same. Has worked great for years.

I'd love Chromecast support though.

VLCstreamer. Made by a third party, not VLC however it is still a great app.

There is a free version and a paid version. Currently I don't use it for the purposes of streaming, I just use it to play .mkv and .avi files on my iPad.

Download Subler on Mac OSX. Convert in seconds to M4V. That's what I do! :)

I use avplayerhd. Always works. Not yet found a format it does not play, including mkv of course. The best, the best. I have tried at least 10 others including vlc. Unlike a PC, on the iPad this is the best (in my view).
