hi folks... hi matroska pals,
I've just found another player able to play matroska files... you can find this one here: http://www.crystalplayer.com/
if you install the player (I don't know if the following is also possible with the free version_1.41 - I've only tested the Pro [trial] version) than you won't see any possiblity to associate the player with *.mkv/*.mka BUT if you select "open - all files" and select a mkv_file than... TADA the player plays mkv_files just fine/ like it should!!!
I'm not related to this company - hence this is no advert from my side!!! just to let you know...
and for thr freaks out there here is the changelog of the latest build:
New in 1.5 Version (AVI & MPEG)
New AVI Internal Splitter implementation. Now you'll play corrupted AVI's, play files during downloading.
OpenDML AVI File Format Indexes support.
Turbo Opening (Playing without Index Table loading)
Index Table Reconstruction while playing in RealTime for corrupted files.
Heuristic seeking (without any index tables) for corrupted files. Nonprecise seeking.
Flexible Speed Troubleshoting - Jump Keyframes in AVI (even corrupted) and OpenDML files.
MPEG1/2 (PS) Internal Splitter implementation (Optional). Fast opening, seeking and playing your MPEGs. Supported Formats: MPEG1, MPEG2, VCD, SVCD
One more video mode: Hardware Blitting (YUV->RGB conversion, resize & print) for Ge-Force and other 3D-accelerators.
Postprocessing. Fast horizontal deblocking, vertical deblocking filters.
Auto Postprocessing. Postprocessing level depend on computer speed.
Corrected downloading codecs system. Downloading more codecs, MPEG decompressors.
More Subtitles format: "SSA"
Additional features in Subtitles: Karaoke, scrolling and etc.
More Intelligent YV12 connection. More decompressors connect with Crystal in YV12 correctly.
Work around scheme for Mother Boards those work incorrectly with High-Perfomance Timer.
Time Stabilization for incorrect time (Force Average Video FrameRate mode). Now you may use FFDShow decompressor to play your MPEGs. Note: it works only in Crystal.
Bug Fixed: Corrected Direct File Access for NT.
Bug Fixed: Incorrect File Preloading.
Bug Fixed: Alt-Tab in Fullscreen corrected.
Bug Fixed: Corrected DirectDraw support (Can't use overlays error from Console mode).
Bug Fixed: Color lines with Subtitles Outside the screen mode.
Bug Fixed: File Write Sharing. Allows you to play the file while another application writes it.
Bug Fixed: Horizontal line in fullscreen in AutoHide TaskBar mode.
cheers Sill
