K-Lite Codec pack, with the included Media Player Classic.

VLC, or Kodi if it's in the living room.

VLC or Daum Potplayer for me. VLC has more audio codec support though.

shark codecs plus windows media player here... basically it uses the lav filters/decoders.
Plays mkv's without any issues for me, including ones with built in subs.

Alternative there's VLC although personally I prefer media player classic.

I'm going to suggest something different.

VLC

Please.

Media Player Classic Black Edition with LAV filters:

Did anyone mention VLC?

MPC-HC here.

Steampunk · 1 Mar 2015 at 14:27

Shark Codecs and then WMP plays everything. Just don't install the adware.

Can't beat this for quality and performance

Are the MPC-HC / BE codecs built into the software these days, or do you still need to install separate codecs? I've always stuck with VLC as the codecs are all built in.

Nexus18 · 1 Mar 2015 at 15:17

LAV filters are now built into MPC.

Craig321 · 1 Mar 2015 at 16:05

Well in that case, go MPC-HC/BE. It's much quicker in my experience. VLC seems to need reinstalling quite often to keep fast startup times.
