I use CCCP + Media Player Classic Homecinema to play mkv files. MPC-HC is a lightweight player that won't make up a significant footprint on your hard drive, and it is very quick to run. CCCP has all the necessary codecs to run even numerous video files.

Yeah, MPC is really good. The only alternative I'd suggest is Mplayer. Don't use the graphical interface, though (I personally hate it, especially on Windows).

VLC is horrible, really. MPC is what everyone should use.

Mplayer is pretty good.

I don't know if micro tv is available on Windows but I also use that to download anime and watch whatever format it comes in. At least I don't think I've ran into one it doesn't play yet.

Thanks guys :)

Media Player Classic is great software. CCCP did not work out for me so I dl'd K-Lite Codec pack <-- in case you care. It plays everything and doesn't require any knowledge of anything. Subtitles of .mkv files play fine!

Actually my dad had been using this setup so I was reluctant to switch to this ancient technologies :3 but this is working out better than VLC.
