1. Codec to play .mkv files in Windows Media Player 11??
I downloaded a file and can't play it in wmp, and i want to watch this video in Windows media player, i don't want to download a new media player, is there a codec out there that works and will let me watch this vid in windows?

2. I'm trying to make a project on windows movie maker but some of the clips i have are MKV files so it wont let me put them in, how do i convert the files without installing tonnes of programms to do individual tasks towards converting them? isnt there an easier way?
