Sounds like your missing some filters, check out http://www.matroska.org/downloads/windows.html
I'd try installing the Haali Media Splitter first, then if that doesn't work try the Matroska Pack.

Sorry for the tripple post, it kept giving me errors when I posted, so I kept resubmitting...

Code: Select all
Could not construct a graph from this file.

- Have you installed all the necessary files?
- Note that the 'Render File' menu option cannot render *.GRF files.

Cannot play back the file. The format is not supported. (Return code: 0x80040265)
I understand the basics of the error, but I don't understand how it's occuring. Why can I play the mkv file in VLC but GraphEdit can't open it? I checked WMP and it has no idea what an mkv is, but I thought that was normal. What am I missing that GraphEdit needs? Does it not like my FFDShow codec for H264?

VLC isn't a DirectShow-based player. Graphedit works with DirectShow filters. You'll need Haali's Media Splitter installed to let Windows Media Player know what it's dealing with, which is also what you'll need for Graphedit to be able to parse the file.

You both are awsome. With your combined help I was able to get exactly what I wanted. I love you.
