Vista Media Centre Codecs - Page 2

Can play MKV files without problems on both my XP and Vista media centre boxes.

I do know that the XP MCE box required a registry hack to make the MKV files visible but I think the Vista box just needed the codecs. Installed the Vista Codec Pack, the core of which is ffdshow and everything just works.

I installed a codec pack and all is working now.
