Hi guys, have u guys ever experience something like jerk/lagging while playing some 1080p .mkv files???

ive recently gotten into 1080 .mkv HD movies, i have to say the quality out of most of the mkv files are the best for me.
But recently, i dont know is it because of the file i've downloaded or something, but when i play the movie, it somehow jerk/lag at a certain part of the movie for 1-2 seconds jerking/lagging.(when i repeated the lagged scene with different media players, sometimes is stil laggs at the same scene[lines appear n stuff], but other media player like media player classic do cut down the lag, but not everytime; as it still laggs at that scene)

May i ask does anyone experience these kind of situations? Whats the cause of this problem? Is is the media player im using, is not fast enough to cope up with the mkv file?? or is it someting got to do with my pc? graphic card/sound card all should be working just fine....hmmss?

What type of HD 1080p movies are currently the best recommended to download? by using what media player?

I experience it before.
Update your player or use other player to play.

try VLC media player.. It works great for me most of the time.. can even setting for 5.1

er but for me, VLC sometimes do jerk/lagg, and same for media player classic, and mpc-star(tiger player) all also seems to have same prob, just defferent type of graphic lagg only.

is it the mkv file?? or my pc setup not fast enough?? which type of 1080p hd movies are the best to download?

Try K-Lite Codec Pack + Media Player Classic + Coreavc
Works for my 2 year old laptop that doesn't even use graphic card to play 1080p files nicely

Either K-Lite Codec / Windows 7 Codec will do the magics for ya..you need proper codec to play..try using Media Player Home Cinema..

Try using CoreAVC to decode those mkv.
If it still lags, high probability if your PC being too slow.

What is your PC's specifications ?

im on a core 2 duo procc
ati hd 5850
4gb ram
is it because of me pc?

ive tried the k-lite codec pack, installed, use all default settings, but now it turns up that media player clasic home cinema stil is kinda lag at that 'movie scene' but VLC turned out fine now? ..... hmms wondering if all this are randoms.....

but ive got lag problems with VLC alot of times, even when playing DVD with DVDrom(new) oso got lag and lines, need to use other player.....

What's your version of the C2D? And mobo spec?
Ya VLC is not so good any more. Have you try using WINDOW MEDIA PLAYER 11 or the latest WMP for your OS?

try use latest K-lite codec

now there have call like proses ur vid not use cpu proc but Gpu proc..

If your notebook/Desktop dun hv reaonable good GUI card forget about it. I payed using my notebook 9Acer 4736 wth Win7 rating of 34..sure jerking. In my desktop wth GUI Card rating of 54, better but still abit lagging..

i think it's about time to invest in any proper media player such as those Sigma (like WDlive) or realtek (AC Ryan/Mede8er/xtreamer)..I bet no moe jerking after this

just buy wdtv live, ac ryan or dvico...problem solved

Bro, he's talking bout playing on PC i guess..

it should not be your pc spec....
it's the combination of codecs, media spliter, renderer.... best with DXVA.

my lowly amd x2 with integrated ati HD3200 ain't have problems. even with out DXVA....

try stand alone WMP classic codec with haali media spliter, running fine even with WMP (enhance rerderer). no reason for it not to run smoothly.

at last, check your graphic card driver, try different version. newest does not mean better.

When you not playing, try monitor CPU usage and ram.. Some antivirus might interfere with ur file.. Can't imagine this antivirus check 10GB+ or even 20GB file.

Also make sure unused application is closed.. You PC already powerful, mine 5 years old HTPC still doing fine even with 25GB mkv file.

try kmplayer..before that, delete all the codecs in your pc

Actually i found a tools called GameBooster,

It will disable all unwanted background applications to increase the performance for gaming purpose..

i use klite megacodec...

base on your spec, the DXVA should kick in. even if it's not, it's a decent pc that should play the video smoothly. i suspect it's just the codec/software combination.
please show us the mediainfo for that mkv video file. we need to know the bitrate.

klite megacodec just do fine...mayb ur mkv got problem..

may i know how do i check mediainfo for the mkv file?

Here:
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en

here it is,



how do u read it?

Bro, one thing you have to consider that you need to install the correct codec with the correct OS version x64, x86.

The rest will be taken care by the filters. While playing mkv, avi, divX, anything.


The media info not important .. but you could use it to google your concern or questions..

Media Player Classic + Latest Haali Media Splitter

All you need is in this package: http://www.cccp-project.net/

Too much codec/players might cause issues.
At least that was the problem for me.
I did a clean reinstall of my OS, and stuck to CCCP ever since.
It works flawlessly.

I'm just running minimum spec - 2GB memory and a 256MB video card.

I am experiencing the same too with my other laptop. It's a Dell Inspiron 6400, Intel C2D 1.66Ghz, 3GB ram, and an ATi X1400 256MB (but on win 7 detected as 128MB =( ).. I think it's because my lappy is a bit under powered. And VLC is not great for me coz it's still lag. But amazingly, Window Media Player got me rocking. Played the video smoothly. i will try your solutions. Thanks.

Check ur codec again. Does it support to play such files or nt.

vista lags anything it runs, try Win 7

Go get a better GFX and upgrade your RAM..
this happens to me oso last time..

now everything turn out just fine
