The famous full pack, not only for playing matroska media files, but it will also allow playback of most modern video formats on any DirectShow player, even with WMP 6.4/7/8/9 ( Windows Mediaplayer ). For this reason the Matroska Pack Full has gathered some attention from the video compression scene, and has established itself as a very slim and intelligent alternative to the usually overloaded codec packs out there.
Matroska Pack Full 1.0.2 features:
Most of the hard work is being done by the great ffdshow decoder Filter from Milan Cutka ( ver. 2003-05-23 ), based on FFMPEG and enabling playback of
DivX 3/4/5
XviD ( before RC3 ; for later versions install the official XviD DShow decoder filter )
WMV7/8
but the pack also adds playback support for
Vorbis ( for Ogg Vorbis audio files, install the Ogg Splitter from Tobias Waldvogel also ), using CoreVorbis
AAC and AAC+SBR ( HE-AAC ) audio, using CoreAAC
AC3 audio, using AC3filter
FLAC lossless audio, using CoreFLAC
Subtitles, using vsfilter ( DVobSub )
RealMedia files, if RealPlayer is installed
Extra features ( need to be activated during the installation process ) are
The matroska shell extension ( MatroskaProp 2.6 ), to able to check matroska files from Explorer
Morgan Audio Stream Switcher : Windows Mediaplayer can't switch between several audio streams in a file, so if you really insist on using it, make sure to install this switcher
Matrix Audio Mixer : Necessary if you are trying to play a 6ch audio file on a 2ch Soundcard, unless the audio decoder filter has such a downmixer coming with it.
