hi,

MP4 is support by Windows 10 but with other Video Type, e.g. H264 in MKV Container, it might happend that WMP say : no Codec

so you need a "Codec Pack". i recommend FFDshow ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/ )
FFDshow use Directshow and you can get Stream and "manipulate" it.

M$ don't want Directshow which do not support DRM so there own Codec have highest "Merit"
you need something like Win7DSFilterTweaker.exe *** (work also unter Windows 10) to change to FFDshow and "override" M$ "Merit"

***

now we get Video but no Audio ... hm
it is while "Mixer" get no Direct-Audio Stream. we have to use MatroskaSplitter.exe*** to split Stream.

now you can play almost all Type of Video where Original WMP have fail before.

have Fun

greeting,

Jimmy
