Can someone explain how my Ipad is playing an MKV file in Dropbox?

[kwitel]

Does Dropbox have its own video player?

I put an MKV movie in my Dropbox to view through Infuse (another multi-format player) but its allowing me to play the film right in Dropbox!

What am I missing here?

Yeah, the Dropbox app can play (or view) a lot of files. So, in effect, you can stream a lot of stuff via that app. I'm sure there is a list on the main Dropbox web site that will list what files the Dropbox app can play ... or not play.

So, it's all good.
