Lately the calls for help regarding playback of .mkv-files are catching in quite often, so I decided to make a short tutorial/FAQ. There are probably many other ways to get it going, I simply post the one I have used. If you have any additions/problems with this setup, please reply to the topic so I can edit this first post to always have the best solution on the first post. Here we go:

- Haali Media Splitter (http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/, it's the Matroska thingy)
- CoreAVC Codec (yes I know its not free, but it's worth the few bucks) (http://www.coreavc.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=category§ionid=4&id=21&Itemid=59)
