WMC now plays MKV files?

Well, maybe I'm slow or losing my mind. But I thought .mkv clips were not natively supported in Windows Media Center (64-bit Win7). At least I remember reading some workarounds on the internet in the past.

The other day I learned WMC now plays .mkv? Since when did it happen? I do all Windows updates but don't pay much attention to the details, and was there such an update? I don't think I've installed anything special or done any tricks. I have various codecs installed including Matroksa Splitter but I had those in the past when WMC couldn't play .mkv files.
 
Wow this is unsual, MP4 to MKV, normally the other way around

MKVToolnix is what you want, it now has the ability to remux MP4 to MKV TSMuxer I dont think can even open MP4 files
 
7MC has always had the ability to play MKVs. All you've ever needed was a 64bit splitter (Haali or MPC) and a 64bit decoder (built in MS, FFDShow, or MPC). To get them to show up in the default 7MC library, you may need a reg key added, I'm not sure on that one, I've used MediaBrowser since day one.
