  1. I use Gom player mostly (its my favorite player cuz it has the best fast-forward feature for avi's and mkv's) but when i try to open mkv's made with mkvmerge newer than version 2.60, i get no video & sound. VLC and mpcht play fine. I have the newest version of Gom. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I'm also a fan of GOM Player and use it as a primary player.
    I can totally relate to this problem. VLC plays the same video just fine.
    I've noticed that it has a problem to open MKV files that are made with mkvmerge 2.9.0.
    Here are the details of a video file that GOM Player can't play, while VLC can (source Mediainfo):

    Writing application : mkvmerge v2.9.0 ('Moanin'') built on May 22 2009 17:46:31
    Writing library : libebml v0.7.7 + libmatroska v0.8.1
