What is the best player to play MKV files.

[Tom Barry]

I have used several media players that supports MKV files but, i was not satisfied with all those players. Because the players i used are specially for MKV but those players are not having special features i.e, other additional features like Blu-Ray, HD videos. these are lagging in the players what i used.
If you suggest me with some decent list of players i'll be thank full to you guys.
Thanks Mates'

Hello Tom and welcome to Seven Forums.

I'd suggest VLC Media Player.

Hello Tom and welcome to Seven Forums.

I'd suggest VLC Media Player.

I'll 2nd that! In my experience, VLC plays anything I throw at it.

Thanks for all your support,
I herd some flaws about VLC player, that when we play videos at full volume speakers may be damaged...!!
I went through some cases like this so, i panic to install VLC.

 

[MyDog8em]

It can blow speakers at max volume as VLC allows (or used to) up to 125%-200% volume. I made that mistake once, been careful ever since

 

[Tom Barry]

Thank mate'
So is it okay if we use the volume just below the maximum level....!!!
Or do you have any other remedy to prevent my speakers from tearing
No other alternate Player for MKV other than VLC...!!

Windows Media Player will play them, but you may need a codec package installed. I've also used the DivX player that worked but I really wasn't fond of it (www.divx.com). There may be a setting somewhere in VLC that will allow you to limit the volume but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks Mate,
I'm happy for your valuable information. I got some player's name from other forum like MKV File do you ever herd about them, are they really that worth as KM and VLC. The description about MKV player is given here.

I honestly cant say as I've never used them before. I will say be careful downloading from softonic, they are known to include unwanted additions to their downloadables. I don't know anything about download basket tho. I would research both sites before I download from either of them.

Hey, @MyDog8em Thanks for the support
I was just suggested by some forum about that sites, if the thing is that they provide unwanted matters. I have used VLC and all those others mentioned need to try this one. so this...!! If you have any suggestions for downloads I'm happy to receive.

 

[MyDog8em]

No problem, if you wanna give them a try go for it and I hope it works for you. Feel free to post back your experience with it. As for recommendations, I don't have any others than the divx site I posted earlier. It wasn't my favorite but it worked.

VLC Media Player

I'm surprised nobody's mentioning Daum Potplayer. Switched to it from VLC a few months back, because I was getting tired of skinning VLC to look decent with all the rest of the UI tweaks I'm throwing at my OS.

 

[Shimshom]

I agree with Gornot concerning Daum Potplayer which I find more to my liking than VLC as well as the same author previous player KMPlayer which many people also seem to prefer over other players

I have been grown up (not kidding) with MPC-HC installed in my (parent’s) PC, and I don’t even bother to download some alternatives since it plays everything I throw at it. But as I had a crush on HD movies, and also as the developers of MPC said farewell in their release last year, I started looking for MKV players that are stable and regularly updated. I am a minimalist so I tried players that look simple in design just so they play mkv, hevc…here are what I found: KMP, JetVideo and 5KPlayer. KMPlayer didn’t play H.264/H.265, otherwise it’s handy for mainstream files. If you want to add tags and edit them, JetVideo is what you need, and if you also want to watch 3D, try 5KPlayer.
