How to Open and Play MKV file in Windows XP Vista OS?

Recently friends ask me how to open MKV[1] file on Windows XP or Vista. I found some ways to open .mkv file in XP and Vista OS. Basically we need 3rd party plugin to open .mkv file. FYI, .mkv file is a open standard for video container.

Download the plugin in Matroska homepage. However, i do not really recommend due to the complexity of the download page and basically it's the same plugin as wat i mention above. Go to Free Download MKV Codec >>

Anyway, let me share my experience, when i first landed on their download page, i do not know which plugin to download and end up testing one by one, worst part is i able to open .mkv file but the sound is not loud enough even i on my volume to max. So stick to the top solution and enjoy your video.
