SKM video is essentially a modified 3GP file developed by the SK Telecom company of South Korea. It stores video and audio data recorded by the SK Telecom 3G mobile phones, and is therefore obsolete.
An SKM video typically contains MPEG-4 video and EVRC audio to balance quality and compression for smooth streaming and playback on SK Telecom networks. However, nowadays, SKM videos are of very low quality (e.g. 320*240).
Note: .skm is also associated with other two file types: one is SketchUp material file, which is a zipped archive containing material-related skp and metadata, and the other is SSEYO Koan Data.
As mentioned, SKM is a proprietary video format by SK Telecom, so it’s exclusively supported by the SK Telecom framework. That’s why you can’t open it directly in Windows Media Player and QuickTime.
However, some third-party media players include the necessary codecs to play the SKM format files, including
Note: VLC may not play the audio of SKM files because of unsupported evrc codec.
Another way to open SKM videos is to convert them to common video formats like MP4 or AVI. This way, you can achieve universal playback ability of the file across all devices and platforms. To do this, a reliable video conversion program is a must.
Due to its rarity, there are not many video conversion programs that support the SKM format.
