If any error is encountered while opening the file, it is likely that you have not downloaded the correct codec.

After installing it, right click on the file you want to open and open with your preferred application. After downloading and saving, you need to install it on your PC. The first step would be to download an appropriate codec. The main advantage and feature of an MKV file is its ability to hold unlimited open-source video, audio and subtitling tracks within the single file format. Re-ran dbpoweramp config, re-tested, same issue - 0 byte files. I then re-checked the directshow.txt file, it was unchanged. I configured it via 'ac3filterconfig' that comes with it post install (edit: stereo, 16 bit pcm). In many ways, MKV is similar to other containers such as MP4, AVI, ASF etc, but it is overtaking other formats such as MP4 and MP3, because of its various advantages. I then downloaded ac3filter from the projects homepage and installed that. Its main purpose is to create a format with multimedia storage along with being completely open source. Theses codecs can easily be downloaded from the Internet. An encoder is present within this file along with compressed video and audio streams, therefore you will need a codec to read it. VLC media player is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player that plays most multimedia files as well as discs, devices, and network streaming. The menu options on MKV files are quite similar to a regular DVD menu.

A MKV or Matroska file is a format that can support a huge number of video, audio, picture or subtitle tracks inside a single file.
