如果您已下载MKV 文件(MKV file),则使用较早版本的Windows Media Player 10 可能(might )无法打开它。这是因为以前版本的Windows Media Player不支持MKV文件。
即使您拥有新版本的Windows Media Player,也不能保证您仍然不会遇到问题。您的文件可能会加载,但您可能只会听到音频,而视频将不可见。

在这篇文章中,让我们看看如何使用Windows Media Player播放MKV文件。我们还将讨论在Windows中播放(Windows)MKV文件的一些替代方法。
值得注意的是,MKV(Matroska Video)文件是多媒体的容器格式(container format),而不是任何一种压缩格式(compression format)。它们基本上是面向未来的,因为它们可以在单个文件中包含混合编码(H.264、H.265、MP3、AAC等)的视频、音频和字幕。(audio and subtitles)
将文件(File)转换为您的Windows Media Player版本支持的格式(Format)
如果程序无法播放您的MKV 文件(MKV file),一种解决方法是通过转换文件来使其可播放。因此,在这种情况下,为Windows Media Player(Windows Media Player)采用可接受的格式是直接的解决方案。

使用替代媒体播放器

CODEC“包”的主要问题是它们通常来自阴暗的网站,并且会在您的系统上安装一堆垃圾软件。在这种情况下,获得我们需要的CODEC最安全的地方是Ninite。

How To Play MKV Files On Windows Media Player
If yоu have downloaded an MKV file, opening it using аn earlier version of Windows Media Player 10 might not work. This is because the previous versions of Windows Media Player did not support MKV files.
Even if you have a new version of Windows Media Player, there’s no guarantee that you still won’t be encountering problems. Your file may load but you may only hear the audio and the video will not be visible.

In this post, let’s look at how you can use Windows Media Player to play MKV files. We’ll also talk about some alternatives for playing MKV files in Windows.
It’s worth noting that MKV (Matroska Video) files are a container format for multimedia and not any kind of compression format. They are basically future-proof because they can contain video, audio and subtitles in a single file with a mix of encodings (H.264, H.265, MP3, AAC, etc).
Convert The File To a Format Supported By Your Version Of Windows Media Player
If a program can’t play your MKV file, one fix is to make the file playable by converting it. So in this case, going with an acceptable format for Windows Media Player is the straightforward solution.
The file you’re looking for comes with the extension .wmv. It stands for Windows Media Video and it’s a video file that uses Microsoft’s ASF (Advanced Systems Format) as the basis.
So what you need to do is find a reliable converter that will convert your MKV file to WMV. Wondershare UniConverter is a tool you can use for this.
- To begin, open the program and choose Add Files.

- Go to Convert all files to: and select WMV as the output format.

- This tool is just one of many tools that can convert your MKV files to WMV files. You can also choose AVS Media Converter, Handbrake, and more. All three of these tools are malware and spyware free.
Use Alternative Media Players
Windows Media Player is a great built-in program for playing media. However, if it can’t play your MKV file, a quick fix is to use other media players.
The best option that we recommend is to use VLC Media Player. If you prefer another media player, you can check out the list on the Matroska website. Other great media players they recommend include MPC-HC and BS.player.
VLC is a free open-source multimedia player that can play almost every multimedia file format.
It also comes with a lineup of tools that can improve your viewing experience. This includes a menu for Media, Playback, and Video.

- The first step to using VLC media player is to download and install the program.

- Then select your MKV file. Right-click on it and choose Open with.

- From the selection, choose VLC media player.

- You can also launch the media player. Then go to Media and select Open File from the drop-down menu.

Install a CODEC
The last option if you really want to play MKV files using only a media player like Windows Media Player is to download a CODEC. A CODEC, which is short for compression/decompression, is used to give a program the ability to play a file format that it doesn’t support natively.
The main thing with CODEC “packs” is that they are usually from shady websites and will install a bunch of crapware onto your system. The safest place to get the CODEC we need in this case is Ninite.
This is a safe website where you can download a lot of free software for Windows without any bundled software included. You can select any other program you like in addition to the CCCP option, which stands for Combined Community Codec Pack.

This is just a pack of codecs for Windows that will allow you to play pretty much any video format, including MKV. Using one of the three methods above, you should be able to play your MKV file on Windows without any issues.
