Use this if you want to watch movies with some exotic codec.

Nope, it cannot play ALL video files.

So far, media player that i encountered to play most kinds of media files to the market is the MPlayer.

Look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari..._media_players
VLC cannot play Real Media format files. and the player that has most list of playable media is the MPlayer.

Is it able to play a MKV file? I don't want to install anything unless it'll play that.

Yes, VLC does play .mkv files, I believe there are several threads around the place about this.........maybe you need a "CODEC PROBLEMS? LOOK HERE!" sticky.

You can also play .mkv with media player clasic, I believe.

VLC can play .mkv files, depending on the codec used to encode. A mkv not using h264? Probably. An mkv with h264? Not so sure.
