That is the problem with all realtek and older sigma chip based players. It cannot play HD mkv with high reframe rates. Any mkv with more than 4 reframe rates will have this kind of problem. That is why I avoided AC ryan and Extremer till now.

Those movies will play flawlessly on the WDTV Live.

damn! i just upgrade from WDTV Live to AC Ryan. WDTV remote is too basic. no skip function, no go to function. that's why i upgrade. arghh! so what player u recommend?

Popcorn Hour. Nuff said.

I won't call a move from WDTV Live to AC Ryan an upgrade. In fact its a downgrade as the sigma chip on the WDTV Live is more powerful than the realtek chip. The only thing going for the realtek chips is its ability to play rmvb.

I do agree the remote of the WDTV Live is very basic, but its more than enough for daily movie viewing. Btw, the WDTV Live do have skip function....just press fast forward first then only press the skip button to skip in 10 minutes interval. It does not get you to the exact point but you can always use the fast forward features.

WDTV Live cannot search scene by time?

need to buy wdtv again. sigh

no...only 10 minute interval skip.

I thought they have this basic function. Luckily I own Popcorn Hour (well, honestly..during the time I bought it, WDTV not exist yet )

how much pop corn hour?

Its not that bad. 10 min skip plus 16x ff gets you to any part of your movies real fast too. Not a big issue for me. I am sure your old popcorn hour cannot play high reframe mkv so each player have its strength and weakness.

For the few titles, instead of MKV get hold of M2TS file and try.

Nope. No issue playing high reframe mkv's. (level 5)
