I cant play files in the .mkv format. I checked the page that says "how to play mkv on this forum but the link took me to a "how to play mov" page. Then when I found a page that has instructions it said I should download the mkv splitter, which I did. But the splitter doesn't open and I dont know what program to open it with.

Any help?

Can't I just download a decoder that will let me play it on any media player or do I have to download VLC player?

VLC Media player is better than Windows Media Player. But here is a codec installer for Windows Media Player.

Also download the codec pack here
http://www.soft32.com/download_2592.html

If none of them allow you to play the mkv files VLC aleeady has all the codecs nessessary to play them.
