I have made a clean install of windows7, and converted some of my files using the tsmuxer. Windows7 MCE does show the file, but when i select it, my mediacenter stops responing. Hi Ed

It looks like it's going to start, but there's no video or sound. Did you encouter similiar problems? If so, how did you get around them? Cheers, Marc Ed,

However, I find .mkv playback a bit choppy and laggy in Media Player Classic-HC... Does anyone else have this problem? /Nico Just install CCCP which should include everything you need.

It is still DirectShow, but playback works fine in WMP. I have MKV playback working fine under build 7000 with the new free DivX 7 bundle (http://www.divx.com) that has H.264 and MKV support.

I have to say, this isn't my experience - I have the build 7000 leak, and with the MKV reg hack (to recognise the files as video), FFDshow (although I'm not certain this is needed, as I put it on before Haali) and the Haali splitter, all MKVs are working fine in W7MC. “usual MKV splitters for Windows Media Player no longer work and viewing HD MKV files now definitely requires VLC for now.”
