Windows Movie Maker: get .mkv files to be imported

I really need to find out how to import my .mkv files into Movie Maker. Can anyone please help me out?

Oh I forgot to mention that I have downloaded k-lite codecs and I can’t figure out what people are saying about splittering the files.

What you need is a DirectShow splitter to sparse mkv files. I’m not familiar with what the K-Lite codec pack bundles or not, but you might want to look at http://www.matroska.org/downloads/windows.html. Look in the section where it says filters. If one doesn’t work, try another. If they all fail, my suggestion would be to scroll down and use an editor instead to convert to an intermediate format (AVI, MPEG, whatever) then feed that into movie maker.
