This sort of discussion is really waaaay beyond my computer skills, so I'm likely pretty representative of a more typical user ("Why won't that damn dog quit barking!?!") of this site.
Having said that, I was able to :
Google, find, and easily download the VLC player
Install it such that it only defaulted to open MKV files (In case it was a dogpile of a piece of software, I didn't want it trying to open all the video file formats)
Download the MKV file and play it, no problem. It ran w/o any stuttering or pixelation issues that I could see.
I run Windows 7 Professional and have a pretty good machine, hardware-wise.
