What kind of file ends with .ax ?

I downloaded Read or Die, and it came in .mkv files.

So I downloaded the software for playing .mkv files.

And that is made of of .ax files. Like MatroskaSplitter.ax.

What the hell do i need now? Damn, I just wanted to watch anime before I went to class this mornin... Why must it be so hard?

I have parts of Fruits Basket in .mkv. The basic advantage is that you can easily switch between Japanese and English audio without ending up with a large file. The bad news is, the codec messes up Windows Media Player. Once I'd installed Matroska, I couldn't play .wmv files anymores. So, whenever I need to watch .mkv, I install Matroska, then uninstall immediately afterwards. You might want to do the same if you use WMP.

Oh yeah: If you can't install .ax files, I have the Matroska codec in an exe file. Want me to upload it for you?

No good. ::cries:: That's exactly the one that I downloaded. But it won't operate because all the stuff inside ends in .ex, which windows XP doesn't recognize. How is it that it works in yours?

You need Matroska codec its a different kind of coding from mpeg etc.

You can get the codec here...http://packs.matroska.org/

Ive heard that MKV encode is supposed to be of higher quality than mpeg etc, but it's also the least user friendly. Most people experience issues after installing.

I've already downloaded the necessary software for .mkv files, but I can't paly it because it comes in .ax files, which my comp doesn't recognize.
