Currently Perian and VLC are the best options, but neither is a "from the ground up machine code" answer for the format, and therefore they crawl even using 100% CPU. So nearly all mkv is unviewable. And transcoding is even worse... Until mkv, I'd never seen "digital smearing." If it weren't for the snotty attitude, I'd be fine with it, but almost nobody who uses the format for distribution took even one second to think about anyone but themselves. Provable when you consider how many Windows XP users are still having issues with mkv even with WMP Classic and CCCP.
