How do I enjoy or watch MKV, M2TS, HD movies on BlackBerry Playbook?

BlackBerry PlayBook, running with BlackBerry Tablet Operating system, is the tablet computer of Research In Motion (RIM). It has full support of Adobe flash 10.1, HTML 5 and Adobe AIR. When comes to its multimedia playback, it can play limited file types like MPEG4, H.264, etc. The popular MKV file formats can't be accepted. Anyway, read the article, you can easily find a solution for it.



Now, let's have full view of BlackBerry Playbook's supported file types:
Video File formats: 3GP, 3GP2, M4A, MOV, MP4, MPEG-4, AVI, ASF, WMV and F4V (needs software decode)
Audio file formats: MP3, AAC, WAV

Tips: In order to have the optimal video quality, you would better change the video under the following parameters:
1. MP4 file format with H.264 video and AAC audio codec
2. The best video resolution for BlackBerry Playbook is 1280x 720. And the Tablet screen resolution is 1024x600.
