[Matroska-devel] Request for to add registry key during installing which will make sure that .mkv files are rendered using DShow in WMP and not format SDK or plugins.

[Harsha Kikkeri (CODEC DSP)]

Hi Mike

Could you set the following registry key during your haali splitter setup?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Multimedia\WMPlayer\Extensions\.mkv
Runtime = 7
Permissions = 1


This will cause .mkv files to be rendered using DShow in WMP and not using format SDK or plugins.

Currently certain files with MKV go through format SDK in WMP.

For more information you can refer to

I have cc'd mkv development team in case there are other splitter implementations of mkv.

Thanks
Harsha.
