    My PC suddenly can't play MKV files. I'm using Media Player Classic - Home Cinema. I tried to uninstall and reinstall it but still can't play my MKV files. Even the sound is not audible.

    Have you tried re-select the file formats that Media Player Classic should be defaulted to read?

    When I double click the MKV file, MPC is the default player. Is that what you mean?

    VLC is the easiest way. But, sometimes the picture quality is so so.

    Another method would be Windows Media player with the XP Codec pack. Or Vista codec pack if you have Vista.

    As for Divx...... I switched to the much more lightweight xVid codec and uninstalled Divx.

    ^ Yup, maybe that's one reason. Try downloading Combined Community Codec Pack.

    But I know even without codecs, VLC can play any movie files.

    ^ Yup, used to download CCCP, but ever since i switched to VLC, no problem playing any media file.

    On a related note, san pwede magdownload ng MKV files with lots of selections?

    Usually sa ******* sites nalang. Usually HD rips ang mga MKVs.

    Try to download ZOOM player.
    Discovered by accident. I cant play MKV files on Microsoft Media player, real player and my OEM media player. I can play the mkv after downloading Zoom player on all my media players.

    Good Luck!
