MacBook Pro HDMI & .mkv query

[andy@telecomhelpcouk]

Anyone know if these can output to a HD TV easily? I can't see an HDMI port out so perhaps only using Apple TV or other proprietary device....

I'm keen to play the (ever evolving) MKV format files, are the codecs available on a Mac?

Your help is appreciated. Andy

VLC player on Mac supports mkv

You could use a DVI to HDMI cable - that should do the trick. And yes either VLC or Perian and Quicktime will be able to easily play an MKV.

Cheers!

This is what you need:

Also, on the mac app store there is a new player called Mplayer X which does a nice job of playing all the different formats, including MKV.

All the best,

Chris
