Will installing the CCCP make any difference in MKV handling in Win7/WMP12?

I've found that MKV files play just fine on WMP12 (Win 7 64-bit). However, no thumbnails for such files are there and in the information panel at the bottom, no information about the length of the video is shown.

I wonder if installing CCCP would fix these 2 issues and/or improve the playability of MKV even further. Or do I not need that pack?

What do you think?
