mkv, is matroska video. its just a container for the video and audio, like avi. the codec it uses could be anything from xvid to real video, as it can put almost everything.

to play just assign it to your player, mpc does play it, i'm not sure if wmp can, but i think not.

In order for Windows Media Player to play that type of file, you need to download and install this:
