What is the best .mkv player?

BS player
KM player
SM player

Someone help please and give the best codec for .mkv videos, or great player!

VLC the most stable, MPC+FFDShow gives the best quality and MPC+CoreAVC gives the best performance.

It's not about the player, it's about codecs you use and your PC's components. If you tried it with all those players, you're going something wrong. Just get VLC or MPC and sort the things out without messing with other players.

x264 is the codec that's best at compressing video, in order words it takes more resources to de-compress it.
Some players are able to boost this a little but it usually comes down to hardware.
Matroska (.mkv) is the container format that holds the compressed codec information, it doesn't have anything to do with how good the encoding/decoding is, only which codecs it'll let you de-code.

CCCP, Haali Media Splitter and CoreAVC, that's what I got told in some tutorial some time ago. Haven't faced any problems since that.
