What the heck is an .mkv file? some sort of video?

It's a vampire clan of file types.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Yes and no. Typically, if you have a codec that can play .ogg files, most likely it includes something to play mkv files.

Amazingly, since you last used the internet, they added something called http://www.google.com. It's amazing.

I know it's been years since you've been able to internet so naturally you're going to need time to gradually catch up. But I just thought you should know.

Alas, I could use google (there's this thing called UBB that's been added to the internet since you last used it, very popular with internet forums, I hear), but I figured that since there's a lot of folks here who are familiar with alternative data file types, I'd get their impressions on what an MKV file is, how to play it, et cetera.

Now go away, Waisztoftime.

While I don't agree with how Snugglits made his point, it is true that if you google "MKV" the first result tells you exactly what it is and the second result tells you how to use it.

Alternatively, http://filext.com/ is a really effective website for this sort of tool, even if you know what the extension is and just want a way to open it

Matroska is a pretty video container, if you ask me. It seems to handle multiple audio/subtitle streams really well.

As far as your question...defilerpak google blah blah.

I was hoping for more information than Matroska's own site, as I did in fact find it on my own. Besides that Defiler thing geeked up my media playing programs until I uninstalled it. Did find a player that works loverly, though.

Correction to my previous post...it's that CCCP thing that angered the computer gods. Every time I tried to open the file Lyinar opened with no problem, it tried to crash my windows explorer.

Now I have something that plays said file, except for some reason it doesn't show the subtitles.

Yours is the first case I've heard of the CCCP not working. I've installed it on my laptop, desktop, parent's desktop, work desktops (4 of them so far), and gave it to my friend Alix when she was unable to view a file I had sent her.

0 problems for all of those.

You do realize that CCCP has all the same filters/decoders as DefilerPak, and it's just bundled with some shitty media player, right? I'm not going to trust a bunch of IRC 'tards to put together a decent codec pack. It's kind of a crapshoot for codec packs anyway, but I'm even less inclined to deal with a pack that's been compiled by committee.

In short, shut the fuck up about CCCP already. We heard you the first six posts.

The way it was described to me was that it was a joint effort between several different anime fansubbing/Dvd-ripping groups (KAA and ZX being the two most prominent that I can think of off the top of my head). As for the software, it comes with the exact same media players that Defiler recommends on the webpage (MPC and ZoomPlayer).

I always try to find something that works and works well, then stick with it. DefilerPak has given me trouble in the past. There've been times when it's completely corrupted my Media Player and I had to reinstall from scratch. Last time I put Defiler on my desktop, it would cause the screen to go black every time I right-clicked or deleted a video file. CCCP hasn't given me that issue.

If you have a small green icon in your systray while you play the file, try right-clicking that, it should give you an option to show subtitles.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.
