More readable:

^(http:\/\/|https:\/\/|www\.).*(\.mp4|\.mkv)$

More concise:

^(http(s)?:\/\/|www\.).*(\.mp4|\.mkv)$

Demo:

Explanation:

  • First group verifies that the line starts "^" matching "http://"(with optional: https) or www.
  • in the middle, ".*", any given character different to newline
  • the last group, it must match or mp4 or mkv at the end of the line.
