I found a solution to play mkv

yg_sun

Although mplayer can play mkv,it can not display the subtitles.Today i found a solution which can display the subtitles.I want to share with you.

  All you need is a tool called mkvtools(include three separate tools).You can get them from http://www.matroska.org

  Then here are the Steps:
  step1:use the mkvinfo(one of the tools,i already mentioned) find the subtitles track.
  eg:mkvinfo friends.mkv|less
  you choose the tracks which you interested in.In my case,i want to extract the english subtitle(there are other languages,each in a separate tracks),it is in the track 4.Then move to the next step.
  step2:use mkvextract to extract the subtitle.(if you name the subtitles as the name of mkv file,then mplayer will automatically load the subtitles)
  eg:mkvextract tracks "friends.mkv" 4:friends.srt
  notice:in the example the mkv file must inside a couple of ",like "friends.mkv".The '4:' means track 4.

OK!finish!
if you have problem,let me know.
Good luck!

mplayer 是可以放mkv的吧？至少我的1.0pre7是可以的。
我放的mkv是双语音轨，和双语字幕。可以自行选择音轨，j键切换字幕。就是不能同时用两种字幕。
