playing mkv on wmp12?

[Noir Angel]

ive seen that divx is bascially also a codec pack. like i mentioned i do not wish to use codec packs or alterntaive players.

If you want to play MKV files you have NO CHOICE but to install third party codecs. What part of that sentence is it that you have trouble understanding, exactly?

I have been using Shark 007's codec pack for nearly 3 years now. No issues whatsoever. Stop buying into people's stupid fearmongering and either install the codecs you need or just accept that you can't play some formats without them. You can't have your cake and eat it, sorry.

please understand that you cannot proceed on .mkv file playback without the use of codec packs such as CCCP.

Personally i'd advise against using the K-Lite pack, it's known to screw with Windows 7's default codecs, but most other packs are pretty good.

I really don't know who post this and they must be *not smart* since you know that you have the world of information through the internet? =D

I have had no problems using K-Lite on windows 7, maybe their older versions had problems but in the 2 months I've used it I've had NO problems

Guess they must have given it an overhaul then as it used to be a serious mess!

you give up metro2012? or are you still trying to find the non existent single codecs?

@ Brando212 I guess some people just can't handle being told that what they want to do is impossible without some sort of third party involvement or impractical because of the amount of time needed to get it working

personally I don't touch WMP12 with a 100000 foot barge pole it's crap

My preferred choice is MPC-HC as there's no need for codec packs they're built in it plays everything I've thrown at it
