Hi Maurice

The reason why you cannot open mkv files in QuickTime Player is because it doesn't natively support mkv. The solution to this is to convert mkv in Mac OS X. I recommend you to use Wonder share video Converter Pro for Mac.

It lets you convert Mkv files to any video format for various players. For QuickTime you should convert Mkv to Mov associated with QuickTime.
