Im not sure if you are asking if it can or saying that you got it to work with mkv files. there is a player that deals with mkv files easily. Thats media player classic homecinema.

Hope this helps

Not by default you would need to install something like Project Remoulade

Yes WMP can play MKV files (i just played one) but you need the proper codecs, and drivers. For an explanation go here AfterDawn.com: Guides: How to play MKV files.

If you use MPC with sharks codecs you have to disable all the codecs except AVI in MPC so they don't conflict

I hate shark codec, simply install FFDSHOW and matrushka spliter and you are set.

and f you like the interface u might wanna consider installing 'media browser' addon its awesome.


here i googled up for an example:
MKVs for Minimalists on Windows 7 -- Hack7MC.COM

Yes windows media player on any windows can play any format if you have shark.net's codec packs installed http://shark007.net

ok i'm messing with codecs, trying almost all. actually i finished up to use ac3filter, haali splitter and ffdshow tryout. The fact is that i have some videos MKV/AVI with double AC3 audio and while watching them, i hear both tracks. That makes the audio messy and echoed. How do i fix it?

have you looked in the settings to see about disabling audio tracks? There may be a way to stop one of the audio tracks from playing. I know vlc media player allows you to do this, but I'm not sure about WMC
