Yes, they are turned on and working fine. Can watch other videos and stuff just fine. Mplayer OS X just doesn't load period. VLC crashes when it comes to playing .MKV files.

It's a known issue over at VLC, but they yet to do anything about it even their nightly build 1.0.3 doesn't attempt to fix it. They say to use the 32bit version while playing mkv containers, yet even when I try using the 32bit version it still crashes.

EDIT: It seems the 32bit version does work, it's just that I have to wait about 1-2 minutes for the file to start. Strange.

Here is what it says in the LOGs for it.

I wonder if it has to do with the TIMER module and the fact that it takes nearly a minute to load? Unfortunately this goes beyond my knowledge.
