Hi Kcmccombs
I use media browser and I use MKV as I use Makemkv as I find it easy to use , Ive stopped re compressing the video as life is too short and Hard drives are so cheap

Hi Kcmccombs
I use media browser and I use MKV as I use Makemkv as I find it easy to use , Ive stopped re compressing the video as life is too short and Hard drives are so cheap

okay tried this seems to work well i still have some play back issues. i am not sure is there a certain requirement in playing larger files. suppose to playing smaller files. the files i have are 20gig and above but i read where some people are shrinking down to 13gigs and lower.


my specs are ( windows 7 pro 64bit
( mob asus p5p43td/usb3
( cpu intel core2 quad q6600 @ 2.40
( corsair memory 8 gigs of ddr3 1066
( 50 gig ocz vertex ssd
( amd radeon 6450 video card
( 5-2TB HDD
( my receiver is a denon avr591
( my tv is a samsung 55 led (un55b7000

i have more memory purchase and is on the way and also a newer video card. but any help would be appreciated.

I have an Reveo which only as an Atom Cpu and Cuda video and it plays 1080p fine .
which player are you using. give Media Player Classic Home Cinema ago. I use this in conjunction with Shark007 codec pack

[kcmccombs]

i am using media browser with WMC and for some reason even when i use vlc i have some of the same issues so i don't think its in the player

[garryward]

I would give Media Player Classic Home Cinema ago I have had problems with VLC and blu-ray. Media Player Classic Home Cinema needs to be set up so it uses the correct codec but as I said before my Atom plays everything I chuck at it.
