I don't have it on the list, but ffmpeg (3 of them) is installed:
ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1   Realtime audio/video encoder/converter and streaming 
server
ffmpeg-011-0.11.1_1 Realtime audio/video encoder/converter and streaming 
server
ffmpeg1-1.0.1       Realtime audio/video encoder/converter and streaming 
server

While searching for workaround, I saw some one-line patch from vlc team 
on forums, that weakening some security checks and let it play mkv. But 
I didn't tried that. Will try to re-search it tomorrow and give it a try.
