oh, and yes, they are ok
or just go to www.videolan.org/vlc/
install vlc, then right click your movie, open with vlc
or make sure you choose .mkv in file asso, during install
No no no. VLC’s MKV splitter is ancient, meaning it barely works at all. This is one of the main reasons I can’t recommend that player at this point in time.
You want to keep your video/audio playback simple with one to two players with the same codecs working for both.
Just install CCCP, it’s a more user friendly and streamlined version of FFDShow. It will play back almost any file for you. It’s playback of Divx & Xvid is better than the official drivers. If you want to use it with Windows Media Player then select “no player” during the install or else use Media Player Classic. Click on my sig for the direct download link. B)
thanks!!! downloading now.
got it to work, thanks, now gotta figure out how i can preview stuff before i download the whole thing and find out it is crap.
Also, its best to avoid vlc player since it is not as updated as frequently as CCCP.
