Are you referring to the configuration under "Movies/Movie Player"?
If so, I see four fields here:
MPEG-2 video decoder [MPV Decoder Filter]
H.264 video decoder [ffdshow raw video filter]
Audio decoder [MPA Decoder Filter]
Audio renderer [Default DirectSoundDevice]

otherwise run gspot codec information appliance on the files
I'm sorry - you totally lost me on that one.

what's in your system tray when you play the files (you should see ffwshow and haali splitter icons kicking in for mkv playback
The icon that appears for about one second is the Haali media splitter.
