You just need to install the codec for it to play.
Then it will just play in windows media player.

Search for mkv codecs on google.

1. download CCCP or K-lite Codec
Good: your WM player will playback MKV video
Bad: 1. need update at times 2. somehow will influence computing speed

2. Use VLC KMPlayer DAplayer (All free)

3. Convert your MKV video to PC friendly format like avi, mp4.

This is not blu ray it is matroska... Pretty good quality but annoying... You can play it with VLC player which is free....

To play an actual blu ray you need a blu ray drive and the program to play them usually comes with the drive

Those aren't blu-ray videos, my friend. They're what are called Matroska video files. (Matroska format is what's called a container format, allowing various codecs to be incorporated. Codecs are files used in the COmpression and DECompression of audio and video files. Did you notice my use of capital letters in that last sentence? That's where the acronym codec originates from.)

Anyway, that's beside the point. You were asking how to play .mkv files. The easiest way is to download and install VideoLan VLC Media Player. This FREE programme comes with it's own built-in codecs, and can play almost every file that you throw at it.
