Description of Download Matroska Pack Full 1.1.2 final

Matroska is a general use container format, and as a result of that MKV files can contain many tracks with different audio and video compression formats. We try to provide most of the necessary decoders in our full playback pack for Microsoft DirectShow, but for some formats we are not allowed to do this because of licensing problems. Typical examples are all codecs of RealNetworks Inc. ( Realvideo, Realaudio, RV 9, RV 10 ) and ON2 ( VP 4, VP 5, VP 6 ). All these formats can be stored fine in MKV files, but for playback it is necessary to have the right decoders installed on your PC. To help all our users to identify the codecs that were used in their MKV files, especially in case when the matroska full pack will not provide the right decoders and the files wont play, we provide a new tool called matroskadiag.exe . The tool will check your MKV file and report if you have the right DirectShow decoder filters installed or not, and point you to the right place where you can obtain the necessary filters, in case they are missing. If your files still dont play, you are likely facing a problem with your DirectShow installation ( too many filters installed ). In this case all we can recommend is a new installation of Windows, or the use of players like VLC ( Videolan ) or Xine, which dont need an underlying framework like DirectShow for movie playback, but will provide decoders for most formats with the player itself
