Recently I got an entire japanese anime series that’s not imported in Italy, subtitled in a wonderful way by a bunch of famous italian fansubbers group.
Stong of my software collection of video players under Mac OS X (who can compare to VideoLan Client and MPlayer ?) I’ve approached my system to view them and got in return some 
by it. Disappointing.
So I had the problem to view those video files, encoded by this Matroska codec (which files extension is *.mkv).
Well, I’ve done it by unistalling the Mplayer package that I’ve installed from the MplayerOSX hosted by SourceForge and downloading - and then installing - a new Mplayer plus it’s relavive a essential codecs package from the official site of the player: http://www.mplayerhq.hu.
Now sssshhhh, anime begins

It was either a codec issue or a lack of proper Matroska support, but it couldn’t be both at the same time
You see, nothing is encoded by Matroska, it is not a codec. It is a container format, one that makes sure that those nice subtitles are included with your video, instead of in a separate file that could get lost.
Still, it’s cool that you could fix the problem, have fun with the animes!

Matroska don’t is a codec. Is a container.

Perian under OS X should allow playing of Matroska files (mkv).

Hi there,
I tried the Matroska tip, but unfortunately, now that I finally DO have video AND audio - they don’t work at the same speed. So I see vid, and 5-6 seconds later I hear the appropriate sound! ARGH! Any more good ideas?
Ta,
