Finding Haali’s x64 Splitter Beta

Haali’s x64 edition is now available officially from the Haali download site!
Haali’s Matroska splitter is one of the most popular MKV splitters available for Media Center users who run custom codec setups. For quite some time now, however, there’s been no x64 option available leaving a large number of users without any choice but to use the Gabest MKV splitter. Despite searching high and low on the almighty Google you won’t find much information on Haali’s plans for x64.
Little secret though, there’s a beta Haali splitter available for x64 systems and it works great on Windows 7 systems. For a while the only readily available resource for getting Haali’s x64 splitter was to install the Shark007 codec pack and while Shark007 provides an excellent package maybe your into doing things yourself.
But, enough with the lead-up let’s get to the meat: where can you find this elusive piece of software? Well, there’s no actual download page to visit, just a link directly to the Haali x64 beta installer (and a mirror here). Of course, this also means there’s no support for this software either so novice users may want to steer clear for now.
On the other hand using Haali’s splitter is basically just install and go. Take it for what it is, an unannounced, unsupported beta and you should get by just fine. If you do need some help, however, feel free to drop a line in the comments section here at Hack7MC and we’ll see what we can do.
