The fact that i produce codecpacks equates to playback issues intriguing me.
I took your mkv sample to a Vista Machine and was also not able to get it to play there.
From Vista, I had a peak here, and saw this post about kmplayer. I installed it. Tested it. it played the posted sample. Bottomline of this story, I thank JayLovesKases for presenting a playback challenge I have not encountered in the past And was quite surprised that an MKV existed that I could not support.
^^ you're welcome!
i'm sure i can find a couple more if i just look around my computer a little. i didn't really think anybody took joy in my pains.
on vista 32 gomplayer played that file as well though (at least it did for me). the original mpc had some trouble with a couple of mkv files though.
guys obsessed with fixing things are so cute! looking forward to you coming up with something.
do you want another mkv file that basically doesn't play video on wmp, mpchc, or gomplayer but works on kmplayer? it might be different somehow. not sure.
I've seem to found another FLV code issue relating to WMP
FLV files started from within the WMP library don't have a timecode, which means you can't seek.
However if an FLV file is opened from explorer it plays and seeks just fine
Although I generally agree with you and a friend has documented your point here: ( Why Codec Packs Are Bad :: How-To Geek Wiki ), I have the impression that Shark's stuff is OK to use. He seems to tightly control what he's putting in so that you don't end up with a junk collection of stuff.

Shark, This looks nice. Problem is that the average user has no clue which options to choose. Who knows the difference between MS codec and FFDshow codec, etc. It would be most useful to provide a guide that helps the user to navigate thru this maze.
