I have play MKV 720P files thats connected directly from my 3.5" Ext HDD to SAMSUMG Bluray player. Everything run perfectly. However its not work well with 1080P format. The movie is lagging. Is there any better way of playing MKV 1080P file?

Seems you player don't support 1080p.

I was thinking if the USB cable is insufficient power to carry such larger data.. How fast data transfer rate does it require? How much its capable of? The player can play BD 1080p well.. How to solve this problem as I am trying to cut cost buying the BD... I am now practicing a share policies where my colleagues and I exchange the mkv..

Should not be problem of using USB2 as it is capable of maximum 480MBit/s and majority of the media players are using it for common connectivity if not all....

any tv lcd that can play direct this codec...i wonder?

Seems like Samsung TV can play MKV, last time it was for Dolby only, now i heard even DTS is supported

But not all Samsung models can do it

Last time I tried with the 7000 series, it plays MKV perfectly including 1080p version of Iron Man.

But it can't decode DTS tracks and sadly the Asia version doesn't have optical audio out so you can't even bitstream it to your AVR.

Not sure about the newer models, I know overseas some can handle DTS directly and the rest have optical out.

MKVs with TrueHD/DTS-HD are very limited nowadays

because IMHO it's not worth go that route. MKV with TrueHD/DTSHDMA are already 20GB+
an uncompressed bluray files (m2ts or bdmv) with removed bonus tracks, commentary tracks, extra audio leaving only the movie itself (uncompressed) and TruHD/DTSHDMA (uncompressed) is only 25-30GB a movie. a difference of only a few gigs.

better to go uncompressed everything.

TrueHD audio file only is just 4GB. If combine with 8GB 1080p AVC, I think it MKV file is should not more than 15GB.

try and look for MKV with lossless track and see for yourself. lots that i find are more than 20GB.
lots of high bitrate MKV with an average bitrate of more than 10Mbps with DTS track is already more than 10GB.

try reformat ur harddisk with NTFS and largest cluster size....

I think it already NTFS format, because one 720p MKV file is already more than 4GB

I dam envy you guys have so many G of HD movies....

I bought a panny FHD 50" plasma + panny Blueray home theater.
now only have one blueray disc AVATAR niar.........

besides, my streamyx only 312kb... don't have desktop pc to download.
aiks... pai mia.....

Using laptop also can la.

Hi Guys,

Some of the forum member advised the following info, but i have no idea what is that~~~~~?
Just remux with MKVMERGE and set audio and video compression to NONE and it will work with media players.

Do you guys having this kind of problem? need help~~~~~~~!

i have no such problem on my 1073DD player.
i'm using mkvmerge GUI v3.2.0 for all my muxing (i always add chinese subtitle to the movie). no problem so far.

Means the rar files need to use the MKVmerge GUI software to extract~~~~~?

huh? what do you mean? why suddenly got RAR files?

i have no idea what is mkvmerge gui, what is that~~~~~?
mkvmerge is it a software~~~~?
do you have the link o dowload the software?
