+### Why are videos recorded as `.mkv` and how can I open them?
+
+In version 2 `.mp4` was replaced with `.mkv` as the default video container format.<br/>
+This was done because `.mp4` requires finalization as otherwise the file/container will be consider corrupt. `.mkv` has no such problems.
+
+[Most video players](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matroska#Support) (including browsers) can play `.mkv` files out of the box.
