862934 2010-03-02 01:35:00 You dont really need any codecs with Win7. Just use windows media player. It supports more than Vista and XP did Speedy Gonzales (78)
862935 2010-03-02 01:39:00 I use VLC and it works fine, WMP would do it too though.

Sound is 5.1 running through optical to a DTS decoder. Crisp as a crisp thing.

862938 2010-03-02 01:48:00 I'll give it a go I didn't think that vlc or WMP would run a mkv h.264 file at true 1080p playback Q man (14225)
862939 2010-03-02 01:49:00 It depends more on your CPU and graphics card, both programs (well WMP12 anyway, I haven't tried WMP11) are quite capable. wratterus (105)

862942 2010-03-02 03:09:00 I use Shark007 codec pack to get DTS sound and decent mkv support, player I use is either WMP12 or WMC7 Deimos (5715)
