Hi:

I was always disappointed that v16 and v17 never supported playback of HD files encoded in VP9/Opus codec in MKV container, such those from youtube.

Now, I see v18 supports VP9/Opus in WEBM formats BUT BUT BUT... can I playback a VP9/Opus MKV file I download from youtube? Can anyone test it out for me, please?

I download lots of HD/UHD files on YT and they are always encoded with VP9/Opus in an MKV container.

If you have some VP9 encoded MKV files already, how about that download the trial version directly to check the playback?

The trial version disables all but the very basic of codecs, unfortunately.

I just found a VP9 MKV clip, and powerdvd 18 Ultra edition does play the video even though cyberlink does not list the combination (VP9 in MKV) on the supported format table.

fyi

Thank you very much, QC2.0 ... I really appreciate the help. Now, I can upgrade to v18 with confidence. Thanks again!
