Players

Comment:

You can get this great player also in French, German and Russian language. It is DirectShow based, but has a built-in, internal matroska splitter, which is tending to be outdated ;-) . We recommend to deactivate the internal splitter, and use it with one of the CCCP playback packs.

Comment:

Still one our preferred media players, with excellent matroska support thanks to its matroska CDL plugin. Remember its also a DirectShow based player, so it will need a CCCP playback pack or at least the Haali splitter to work for MKV files.

Comment:

Currently the one player with the best matroska menue support, and not based on DirectShow (if you don't like codec installation on your PC). It will play most of your MKVs out of the box, only support for those with Realvideo or ON2VP codecs is missing (use DirectShow then).

Comment:

A very good, DirectShow based mediaplayer with advanced matroska support in combination with the Haali media splitter.

Comment:

A windows compile of the great Core Pocket Mediaplayer, for Windows 2000/XP. Probably currently the one player using the lowest CPU resources for playback of modern media files, and including full MKV and MKA support. Only support for subtitles and Realvideo is missing. Not DirectShow based, so no codecs/filter installation necessary. Support for even faster decoding of h.264 (AVC) is in the works !

Filters

Comment:

Almost all you need to play .mkv (matroska video) and .mka (matroska audio) files under DirectShow players, such as Windows Mediaplayer, MPC, Zoomplayer and TCMP (see above). To see an updated list of what these packs contain, look at the ReadMe on the site.

Comment:

The most up to date DirectShow filter to read Matroska files. Support AVI and MP4 playback too, unfortunately not open source. Included in both matroska packs, most recent versions to be found on its homepage.

Comment:

Written overnight by coding wizard Gabest, open source. Developed further every now and then, time permitting...

Comment:

This is not really a filter, but it will help diagnose most DirectShow related problems when trying to play a Matroska file. Please use this tool if you can't play MKV files in Windows Mediaplayer, even after successful matroska pack installation, and send us the log file.

This splitter is based on libebml/libmatroska, but abandoned as there is noone that knows DirectShow that wants to work on it.

Comment:

This filter is a general use decoder filter, based on the great FFMPEG library. It can decode most video and audio compression methods existing today and all in a single, powerful DirectShow filter for Windows Mediaplayer. There are later version of ffdshow out there than this one, however, they are not distributed from their official homepage on sourceforge anymore. Google is your friend ....

This a DirectShow muxer filter. To use in GraphEdit, connect the filters outputting compressed data to the in pins of the Matroska Muxer. Then connect the out pin to the File Writer filter. Its used in both ATV2000 and VirtualVCR for MKV capturing.

Comment:

THE standard matroska creation and editing tool, all recent builds supports the new lacing method, so make sure to have a recent splitter. The GUI is called mmg.exe, since 1.6.0 it is coming with a nice installer to make things easy for the user.

Comment:

Project is more or less abandoned, nobody is working on it actively. Also, it can't support most of the modern MKV files anymore. Since version 1.5.10.1 it can handle the new lacing method. Please update to the latest bugfix, build 2542. Better use mkvtoolnix or avi-mux GUI.

Comment:

Definitely one of the best MKV creation and editing tools out there. Just the name sucks .....

Capture-Tools

Comment:

Obviously discontinued project. The special matroska versions are here and work.

Comment:

Still under development, from our friend Mike Crash. Will allow to capture directly into MKV format, using various compressors.
