Video files

[proudlyfallen]

Anyone know what the hell I need to play MKV files? Media Player Classic gave me this information, but I don't know what to do with it:

F:\Desktop\SHARED\Videos\Coupling\Coupling-Series 1-Episode 1-Flushed.mkv::English (Audio 1)
ffdshow Audio Decoder::Out
Audio Switcher::Out

Any ideas? Anyone?

.mkv is, I believe, Matroska Video. You should be able to play it with VLC (which should be your default video player). But otherwise, just do a google search for .mkv codec or somesuch, and it should come up with something for you to download.

I actually dislike VLC.

Mainly due to the fact it REFUSES to play on a secondary screen for me, which is where most of my video is played (my TV.)

But for odd formats, it's the shit.

Kat, go google "Community Codec Pack" It's a pack of codecs for windows with a single installer. Once done it plays damned near anything you want.

Otherwise just google "matroska driver" and you'll find it. MKV and a couple other formats are really fucked up for getting them to run.

I use Zoom player its good even though I'm apperntly the only person who can get it to run.
