Audio & Video Codecs

[Piesang]

I got some *.mkv files that doesn't play properly on my PC. What is the best Player or Codecs that I can use?

Any ideas? Please help.

Not sure what the best is, but I personally use Shark007 Codecs with the x64 Components addon since I run a 64bit Windows, allows your Windows Media Player to play everything.

Otherwise you can just grab VLC Media Player plays any video format.

I use GOM player , after u download and install it. Open the mkv and it will tell u it needs codecs and just select find and download.

VLC media player will play anything under the sun.

Using VLC nowadays but used to like The Combined Community Codec Pack

VLC Media Player plays any video format.

All you will ever need

VLC for everything, otherwise CCCP if you prefer using the built in WMP.

Codec packs tend to completely screw up your system. Just use VLC player, or XBMC or something.

I use K-Lite Mega Codec Pack with Windows Media Player since I can remember and I have had no issues whatsoever...

K-Lite mega codec pack 64-bit, Media Player Classic HT edition, Core AVC + AC3 filter

VLC coz it is just so easy. But ye, CCCP also works nicely with WMP. In some cases, I actually found that WMP is more stable than VLC.

I installed XMBC. I like the interface. It looks awesome. Only problem is that some movies doesn't play perfectly through it but it does play through Media Player Classic.

Any ideas why?

Rather just use VLC or install codecs and use Windows Media Player.
