.mkv playback

[BigMoose]

This is probably a dumb question hence I've not put it in the support forum, but to play .mkv files, do I need the haali splitter? Is there another way to get them to play? I removed it as it was giving grief for Bluray disk playback but now have some .mkv's I want to play, which GBPVR currently does nothing with. It'll be annoying if I can only have .mkv playback or sensible Bluray disk playback!

i personally just install the vista codec pack, and then i can playback pretty much anything

Short answer is yes - although I use XP. Reven has mentioned another way if you use vista
