Q: How can i play matroska files on my PC ?

A: On the download page you will always find the link to the very latest DirectShow parser filter, that way you will be able to play your .mkv files on Microsoft Windows with every DirectShow based player such as Windows Mediaplayer (6.4/7/8/9), Zoomplayer and BSplayer. The best playback support from Windows is currently achieved with The Core Media Player, if the matroska CDL plugin was used.
For Linux PCs, as well as for MacOSX and the X-Box emulation you have to get the newest version of mplayer, and make sure to have a compilation that will include libebml and libmatroska. Suitable RPMs are available from Mosu's mkvtoolnix site.
