    So there are many files in the .mkv format, and I was wondering if y'all:

    1) Convert to .mp4
    2) Play with a .mkv player

    Any help?

    Don't worry about converting, Plex, VLC and even Xbox support MKV now. Windows 10 will also have MKV support built in natively. MKV are mostly older torrents, most now are .mp4.

    Does anyone know the best way to convert .mkv? Final Cut Pro doesn't accepted that format for editing.

    You can use VLC to make the conversion.

    Ha, I already had VLC player, I just never updated it when the pop-up would appear to update it to the latest version.

    My lazy a** for not updating a 5 year old software program was the issue.

    I just play my .mkv files with either Kodi or MPC-HC. VLC is fine too.
