Hi,

I use VLC player just to play .mkv and .srt files in my PC and WMP for everything else. I really liked WMP and I don't want to use any other players.

I can install a codec pack and run mkv files, but this guy suggests NOT to install codec packs on PC.
Why Codec Packs Are Bad - How-To Geek Wiki

Can anyone suggest me a good method to run mkv and srt files on WMP? or I will use the same VLC player again. :(

Don't install klite, it's full of stuff that's no longer compatible with win 7.
The cccp pack seems safe and it's what I've been using for several years now.
CCCP - Combined Community Codec Pack

If you have absolutely settled against a codec pack based on what you read there.
You can get just the mkv (matroska) support by downloading the matroska codec specficially.

This will however not give you srt support, though the mkv subs will show.

Even the makers of mastroska themselves suggest using the cccp pack though.
One step if you do install that pack at the end of the installation there will be a settings window.
Go to the second page of it, and check the box to enable sub support for wmp.
That should set you up.

under filters. I suggest getting the haali too, as it's used a lot in animes and subbed stuff online.
And it will also add native mp4 support.

I My problem is that the videos are waging. I had installed the Klit, but I already removed the computer.
The Haali MKV will accept and load the subtitles?
Thanks:)
