Buy the originals or make backups from your OWN discs...

Try using VLC to play it and see if it's better. Unless you have a dual core or better CPU, MKV playback of high definition video will be a big problem. If you have a single core CPU, you don't have enough CPU power to play 1080p MKV files. 720p might play OK though. Also, if your PC monitor does not go up to resolution 1920x1080 or higher, whatever software player you have may be trying to resize any 1080p video and that will not help.

my monitor has no problems..........well i was thinking yeah it maybe better to upgrade my cpu.........besides i have no problems playing files at 720p.........the 1080p are the trouble...any way thanks for the advise......

CCCP

I am surprised that nobody has added the CCCP filter pack to the TOOLS on this forum???

It's a great package that installs Media Player Classic, ffdshow, Haali's Media Splitter and other items. I usually don't recommend installing codec/filter packs but this one is the exception.

FAQ
http://www.cccp-project.net/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ

The CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) is a DirectShow filter pack.

What is the CCCP?

The full title is the Combined Community Codec Pack. Actually, it's more like a filter pack than a codec pack but filter doesn't begin with C and we wanted a good acronym. The name is also a pun on the Russian name which is transliterated into the Latin alphabet as "Soyuz Sovietskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik", or "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics", abbreviated as "CCCP" or "USSR". Blame Lenin and the Commies.

Jokes aside, the CCCP was created to replace the filter packs provided by several anime fansub groups into a single reliable pack capable of decoding practically any group's files - without breaking compatibility for other formats. Since then we've grown into a pack that can decode more or less anything that you will run into during your travels on the internet. We're supported and endorsed by a number of groups...
