Matroska Splitter FAQ:

Which Windows versions are supported by Matroska Splitter?
Matroska Splitter works with all modern Windows versions, including Windows 10 and 11. It integrates with the DirectShow framework, so it functions in any DirectShow-compatible media player.

Do I need additional codecs or decoders?
Yes. While Matroska Splitter handles demuxing (splitting streams inside MKV containers), you'll still need decoders like ffdshow, LAV Filters, or CoreAVC to properly decode the video and audio tracks.

Why aren’t subtitles showing up in my player?
A: If you're having trouble with subtitles, make sure you have VSFilter (also known as DirectVobSub) installed. This is necessary for subtitle rendering in many DirectShow-based players. You may also need to disable buffering in the splitter’s settings if subtitle sync is off.

Are there alternatives to Matroska Splitter?
Yes. LAV Filters is a modern alternative that includes both demuxing and decoding capabilities. However, Matroska Splitter remains a lightweight, efficient option for users who prefer to customize their DirectShow setup.
