guys, ive been googling all around, and i found a numerous setting on playing the MKV files..
and i tried those settings, which results sometimes ok, sometimes worst than before.

basically im using a VLC to play them, but ive found that the integrated ffdshow does not utilize the dual core..
right now i am tweaking the Media Player Classic Home Cinema with CoreAVC

so i hope u guys can share the most optimized setting here..
my hardware is like the following:

Intel E7200
Biostar TP43-HP
Gainward HD4850GS
Kingston 2GBx2
Dell S2409W 24" 1920x1080 HD

thx in advance and happy new year

why do you need CoreAVC when you have 4850?

quite true... just configure it in the CCC ATI

lol..haha..trust me, i am really n00b bout this
so any idea how to configure it using CCC?

bought it from one of the kawans.. the price same as retail BD-rom so just grab it.. cos it's OEM unit.

retail BD roms should be going for 400-600 I think... in SG.. got..

i just downloaded the Media Player Classic Home Cinema and Cyberlink PowerDVD 8..
looks like finally both cores are utilized, rather than using vlc last time, which made my 1 core left idle

actually ah....i wanna try this hardware decode thingamajiggie that uses the GC to process the video....

right now im using E5200 with G45 mobo. running the few 1080p that i have perfectly with cpu usage @ around 45%.... but im just itchy to try....

so HOW do i go about setting it for the hardware graphic card thingy?

EDIT: forgot to mention....my preferred player is BS Player... but i do have MPC HC installed as well..

eh??? VLC doesnt utilize dual cores ah?? didnt know that lol...but makes nod difference to me oso la since i use BS Player and it does utilize both cores
anyway, would still like an answer to my question below.... mobo is Gigabyte EG45M-DS2H... BS player with K-Lite Mega Codec Pack.

thought for HTPC, ATI will be better bet compared to Nvidia due to Avivo.

dunno about that, but do know ati would be a cheaper solution..

hi guyz,

Thank you.

For me i'm building a HTPC, but i think i want to go for the smallest size available...my ATOM rig is for BT.

Since Se7en not reply yet, i just wanna tell that mod BryanXXXX whatever his name is, ARE YOU SLEEPING NOW??

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/868175

The thread above about 4850. We have gazillion threads on ATI 4000 Series. Why aren't this close or merge elsewhere?? Mod is sleeping, or just choose to merge whatever suits his fancy...

but then again, he is only a probationary mod...

Good point. Is there smaller HSF for 4850e series? Or ,maybe the unreleased 3250e (22W) series? Anyway, i just checked mine....it just might clear though, with stock HSF...mine is the slightly bigger mini-itx casing which can accomodate 1 5.25" drive bay....anything smaller than this won't clear i suppose.

Err............Thing is he is not familiar with mini itx thingy mah
All he/me play is big big stuff,the bigger the better,opposite of what you guys like
BTW,everyone in lyn,have a happy new year and another good year of benching

Yeah i was sleeping. I need sleep yanno, i dont survive off batteries. Well coffee does the trick

I have in mind to move all fan club threads and all talks like such, because it is more of an Q&A, to hardware Q&A. What say you? Since, it is abusing the post count system.

Well, as long as I see it, i will investigate, alternatively, hit the report button and the mods of hardware will take action if neccessary if you feel the thread needs to be looked at.

Anyway, it wasnt me who merged the threads. But then again, HTPC generally refers to a small little thing of a pc.
