MKV Naming Best Practices

Follow these proven practices to keep your mkv files organized and findable.

  1. 1Use lowercase letters and hyphens instead of spaces — mkv-descriptive-name is more portable than "MKV Descriptive Name"
  2. 2Include the most important identifier first — date, project name, or subject
  3. 3Be specific but concise — "sunset-beach-hawaii" beats both "photo" and "beautiful-golden-hour-sunset-reflecting-on-the-pacific-ocean-at-waikiki-beach"
  4. 4Pick a convention and stick with it across your entire library
  5. 5Let AI do the heavy lifting — manually naming files is error-prone and inconsistent
