Disregard my question, but to anyone having the same problem: go into your ‘video options’ menu and disable the default setting ‘allow hardware video overlay.’ Once I removed this setting I was able to play MKV files in full screen mode by double clicking on the window, and haven’t had any other problems or noticed anything different with other video types.

I followed your steps and played an .mkv file without a hitch.. only one problem, it won’t go into full screen mode in winamp at all. When I double click on it winamp becomes unstable and eventually crashes. Any suggestions? Directshow v1.06 and winamp v5.56

I always use to play all my favorite video mkv,mp4, rmvb and avi format in winamp in vista for 13 months now with no problem. Now im test install windows 7 (build 7100), format video mkv and mp4 cannot play correctly, i check video properties in winamp the filter use is microsoft DTV-DVD which located “msmpeg2adec.dll & msmpeg2vdc.dll”. I think my problem is conflict filter. I try to move that *.dll files to another folder, my winamp can play mkv and mp4 without any problem, but cannot play DVD anymore. Instead that i moved that *.dll files back to the original location to play dvds. I know windows 7 still under unreliable state yet. Any solution for avoid move the *.dll files? Thx in advance.
