I can't play MKV file
When I play MKV file it says this.-
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "cook". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this
Can you please make it so VLC player will support and play this codec format "cook" ?
Thank you.

Some cook videos are not supported.
Can you share the logs, please? Can you share the mkv file too?

Hello Friends!!
Yes, VLC is a free and open source media player. The main work of VLC is to encode and decode large number of data. VLC's codecs are provided by the libavcodec library from the FFmpeg project. So, for playing codex format "cook" you need to go at the libavcodec library and then you can play this codex format "cook" on VLC media player.
If any suggestion then give me Reply.
Thank you all in advance.

I am seeing the same error. In my case I am attempting to play an MKV file containing a RV40 realvideo stream and a cook audio stream. It's basically an RMVB file where I extracted the streams and repackaged as an MKV. VLC played it fine when it was in the RMVB container, and it plays the separate video and audio files that I extracted, but it won't play them in the MKV container.
Here is the debug window after starting playback, receiving the error message, and pausing playback:

Something occurred to me, so I went to my ffdshow audio decoder config, and set it to use libavcodec to decode Cook audio. That didn't help though, and I'm not sure if it even should have.
Another interesting thing, I just renamed the RMVB file to MKV, and it played fine.

VLC doesn't use FFDshow.

Can you share those files? Do they fail with VLC 1.2 too?

At the moment you cannot play the 'cook' with VLC 2.0.*, but you can play it VLC nightly builds 2.1.0-git.

I am running osx 10.6. I just downloaded version 2.0.5 and I get this same error for EVERY video file I try to play. I have tried MKV, MP4, AVI, etc. etc. I can hear the audio., but wont even get a black screen. Just the error message and the audio and the GUI will just stay on the playlist screen. This is the first time I have ever had a problem with VLC. Do I need to upgrade to a new OS in order to get VLC working again? Thanks.
