You can check all the supported formats of android in Audio,Video and Images. Supported Media Formats in Android

Answer 2

I think it is possible. But mkv isn't a video format it's a container format where you can put in multiple videos and audio lines. mkv can contain many video and audio format, and if you are able to view them depends on your player/recorder. And i think you won't record in this format instead "convert"(pack) it. you can use ffmpeg:

" FFmpeg on Android "

" Is there any way to port ffmpeg command to Android without root the device? "
