Player for computer?

patseguin · 2012-02-25 18:05

Now that I have a ton of MKV's on my server for my XBMC boxes, is there a good player out there for MKV's for my computer if I just want to play something in a Window while I work?

windows media player? VLC player? XBMC in windowed mode?
any player will work as long as you install the codecs (google for KLITE CODEC PACK)

Why not just use XBMC?

Just wanted something to simply play a video, XBMC is more for my HTPC's. Got VLC and it's really nice. I downloaded Free MKV Player and it installed extra crap and I can't even find the player.

Media Player Classic

(moved to other section because non XBMC question)

VLC is a good old and reliable windows playback friend of mine. It has so far played just about anything.

Definitely agree with that...There is nothing that it doesn't play. Even damaged stuff.
