The easy workaround to upload MKV files to YouTube is to convert and split MKV to YouTube compatible video. Here is how.

MKV file format stands for Matroska video, which become more and more common high-definition video , but it do not support by more portable device and websites like YouTube, Facebook, Yahoo, etc. If you want to share a video in mkv files with your friends through YouTube, you need to upload them to YouTube. Sometimes, YouTube won't allow me to upload .MKV files (matroska video). It is what YouTube says:"Sorry, that's not a video file that we support. We currently only support the following extensions."

Generally speaking, YouTube accepts video files in FLV, AVI, etc formats. So, in order to upload MKV to YouTube, the first thing you need do is to encode MKV to YouTube supported video formats.

What's more, with the built-in video editor, it's freely for you to trim the MKV videos into multiple segments with short duration. The most important is that, it allows you to modify the video bitrate, frame rate, video size, audio channel, etc for your original MKV files for easier uploading. If you are working on Mac, please get Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac. Now I share the step-by-step solution converting/uploading MKV to YouTube.
