Run HD on my PC...which software?

[thewisecrab]

I have a C2D, 2 gig RAM and an nVidia 7300GT
The specs are not a problem as HD movies and trailers are playing seamlessly and silky smooth on Ubuntu.
My prob is that,
I have K-lite Mega codec pack installed.
When I opened the HD file with Media Player Classic, it gives me the following error:

Unexpected EOF while reading EBML container

I guess the codec is not available.
Reinstalling the pack didnt help
What should I do?
PS. Its in .mkv format (useless point...still thought i'd like to add it here)

Okay! VLC is better than Media Player Classic, IMHO

No probs! By the way, does MPC report that error for all media files?
