The MKV files are highly appreciated for their high amount of information compressed in one file, but they can only be played when you have a specialized codec installed on your computer, such as the Matroska Pack Full or the other collections under the umbrella of Matroska.Īnd since this codec does its job with the other types of media files as well, you have one more reason to install it. The codec is a very discreet presence on your computer and the only component that has an interface is MatroskaDiag, a diagnosis utility for MKV files.

To achieve its objectives, Matroska Pack Full contains the following components: Haali Matroska Splitter 11-10-2005, MatroskaMuxer 1.0.0.9, Matroska Shell Extension 2.8, VSFilter 2.36, TTA 1.0.0.203, CoreFLAC 0.4.0.46, CoreWavpack 1.0.3, FFDShow 15-10-2005 (decoding only), RealMedia Splitter1.0.1.0, MPEG2 Decoder v0.1.2.0 and MatroskaDiag 1.0.0.62.ĭuring the installation process, you have the possibility to choose which filters to deploy on your system.Īlthough you won’t regret installing all the features, since the pack is as light as a feather. Unlike other codec packs, they meet a double requirement: to make it possible to render both Matroska and common media formats.

Incredibly light, they will enable you to view your favorite movies in exchange of a very little amount of your system’s resources.Īlthough discontinued in 2006, the Matroska Packs still prove to be useful to media enthusiasts all over the world.
