MKV files in Windows 7's Windows Media Center (x64)?

[Elliot B.]

Anyone got them working? I've followed various guides, and nothing has worked.

I gave up with all the reg-hacks, none of them ever worked. Was directed towards (an apparently banned link - doh :( ) which, except for the occasional jitter, works fine.

Not much help there with the banned link. Sorry :/

works like a charm for me:)

Matroskasplitter works just fine. Google is your friend.

That or you could simply mux these nasty little files to universally supported MPEG files which can be played back in any application. Honestly it boggles the mind what kind of nutter produces these files when the MPEG container can achieve the exact same thing while being universally supported on DVD Players, Consoles, Streamers, PMP's and even PDA Phones and pretty much any other device .

Probably were dropped on their heads as kids :yes:

VLC works fine for me

I'm not very familiar with different video types and the like. Do those support chapters?

Erm, read the topic title. I am not looking for software that plays MKV files.

[Gio Takahashi]

I still recommend VLC player. Windows Media Player is too much of a bloat to me, and have, in the past, lagged some of my videos due to its bloatness. VLC is pretty simple.

That said, I recommend CCCP Codec package if you still want to use WMP.

Windows Media Center.

It's in the topic title :laugh:

Cmon guys!

As someone else said all you should need is a splitter, Haali Media Splitter is good (Y)

It appears to be 6+ months old and I can't find an x64 version?

[Gio Takahashi]

Okay. Geez. I didn't see the word center give me a break. It's not like it's written in HUGE OBVIOUS FONT.

Ugh, Windows Media Center is even more of a bloat than windows media player. Still, CCCP should do the job regardless. I'm not sure how you can manage to tolerate that, but to each their own.

You can't directly compare WMP and WMC, they're serve different purposes :|

[Gio Takahashi]

I know they have different purposes, I've tried both of them, and disliked them, except for the Media Center Extension.

I'm curious, what are you using Windows Media Center for anyway?

Maybe he uses a remote to select stuff to watch in WMC. I do. Can't do that with VLC.

So you admit you don't read titles before opening a thread? It doesn't need to be written in huge obvious font, it's a topic title, the first thing you should read ;)

edit: Haali Media Splitter for x64 - http://haali.net/mkv/mkx.y.9.exe All you should need, you don't need a codec pack, you need an mkv splitter.

Thread title will catch my eyes when I click on new post. It's sometimes easyto mistaken windows media center for windows media player. When I click the thread, the first thing i'll read is the post, and then the rest of the thread. Anyway, no more derailing.

Running with 7 RTM + the latest 7 codec pack, and X64 components from Shark 007, MKV files play perfectly for me

[SkyDX]

I have the latest CCCP installed, .mkvs play just fine with WMC even with softsubs.

Both of those codec packs contain a splitter, CCCP uses Haali. He doesn't need to install a codec pack, just the splitter.

Windows 7 has native codecs to play back H264 which will be the video codec inside the MKV file, Windows 7 however does not have a splitter to enable the use of the MKV container.

x32 only.

[Mr Dan]

x32 only.

It installs fine on x64 and plays back in windows media 32bit mode, but yeah I see it doesn't work in Media Centre on x64.
