CALLING PEOPLE WHO KNOW JACK SHIT ABOUT FILE EXTENSIONS

[RobbyZero]

Well my friend has all the episodes of Gundam Wing. But some of his extensions to the last episodes are .MKV

Im trying to find out what player/program he needs to play .mkv extentioned files.


Can anyone help?!

.mkv.... doesn't sound familiar, but have you tried: Windows Media Player, DiVX, Real One or Quick Time?

Gundam Wings owns, but I actually BOUGHT it, unlike some people .

Bad topic title. The average anime nerd would know nothing about MIME types and file encryption.

[walking on broken glass] says:

Okay, I guess I am an anime nerd...but your title has nothing to do with anything of that sort. And I hate Gundam...ALL GUNDAM.

I know for a fact if your obsessed about something you'll do/find anything to get your movies or games or w/e working

[jewpinthethird]

True. As in the case of the Animatrix. But I hate Gundam....

[RobbyZero]

Changed the title...Animatrix is funny

[Brainmaster07]

And I hate Gundam...ALL GUNDAM.

Have you seen Gundam Wing? Because I agree that every Gundam series besides GW ABSOLUTLEY SUCKS!

Animatrix is da bomb PERIOD

Gotta love how Apple machines don't even care about file extentions, eh?

Microsoft makes me angry.

[SotN]

What are you smoking? Apple machines are VERY picky about file extensions. You have to go through hoops just to add a new association.

But about your friend, what OS does he use? Does he have "Show file extensions" on? I'm rather concerned that might be a virus, since most people just open up files with unfimilair extensions.

[ThunderClaw]

Since filext.com recognized the extention, I really doubt its a virus. It appears to be a valid video file, and it is literally impossible to properly encode a virus into a video file. It's possible to encode it into the codec, but not the video file itself.

I think it's just an obscure video format that somebody decided was clearly superior to your standard .mpg or .avi for some bizarre reason.

I don't know exactly what will run it, but I would attempt to download the Kazaa Lite Codec Pack and run it in WMP, and if that doesn't work, go to a video creation software's forums and ask there.

[jewpinthethird]

Or just not watch it. There is a reason it is in that crazy file extension...it's your computer's why of saying, "Just give it up, Gundam sucks."

Jewpin, when you were little, were you ever,say,attacked by a Gundam action figure?
