No, I meant stand-alone as in a device that only plays disks. A DVD player or DVD/Blu-Ray player or DVD/HD-DVD player or similar "consumer electronics" device. Both kmplayer (mplayer/xine) and kaffeine (xine/gstreamer/mplayer) play .mkv files fine on my system. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
