At least dual core processor and 1GB RAM, Graphic Card no need i guess

The playability of .mkv files depends on the size and bitrate of the h264 video, and also your video decoder's setting. The maximum h264 video size my P4m 2GHz laptop can handle is about 1024 x 576. Graphics card and RAM doesn't matter too much in your case, but the latest card can decode the video stream via DXVA (thus lessening the load on the CPU).

Then only solution is ?

Is there any better option anyways since I pretty much a broken guys.

CCCP , anyone explain the differences between K-Lite..

usefull info here!!

i use koepi's xvid latest version to encode xvid files using xilisoft. but when i play the files in wmp11, there's no video, only audio. but if i play it in mpc-home cinema, it plays without problem.
those xvid movies that i download from internet can be played in wmp11.
why? how to solve?

how to play mov and rmvb in wmp11? i already have quicktime 7.6 and realplayer installed.

1. Prolly is FourCC problem, Official Xvid decoder does not support much FourCC than FFmpeg (mpc-hc internal mpeg4-asp/Divx decoder is from FFmpeg)
im just guessing, if you dont know what happen, download mediainfo,
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en ,load the video and check the FourCC.
As far as i know Xvid decoder only support Divx, Dx50, Xvid and Mp4v FourCCs.

2. Mov, depend on the video format inside, Haali's Media splitter support Mov container, but not all "FourCC" are recognized, eg the ALAC audio format.
Quicktimne alternative got Mov parser and quicktime decoder bundled, but now im not sure since i never use it for age, FFdshow might partially support it.
Same for Real video, although FFdshow suport all the Real video format, RV10 to RV40, it does not support all the real audio codec, eg "cook".
Mpc-hc support real audio but im not sure if it can really support all the real audio codecs.
I always recommend MPC-HC + Haali media splitter and ffdshow for video playback, less problematic than wmp11, easier to troubleshooting.

i've just installed riverpast quicktime directshow plugin for wmp. now, my mov plays fine in wmp, but not in vista media center. why? the mov file is shown (because i already set the perceivedtype to video), but it can't play.

i'm finding ways to make vmc to play many different type of files. i assume whatever files that wmp can play, vmc also can play. but it's not.

the riverpast plugin worked in VMC after restart. but i'm still figuring how to play flv and vob(stutters in VMC).

Dear all otai's, can someone pls help me...I have finished downloading a torrent file (Movie Twilight)...I tried to play it after that & it appear the message that File cant be played and need to install something from www.videopackers.com ...Any solutions (refer below image)....!@#$%^&*

What happen if you click "Yes"?
By the way, The video was encoded with DRM enabled.

Quote from Video Packer's website:

after I clik yes, it goes to the videopacker website. already download the software but still cant play the video...

guys, i'm running on a p4 2.4 & nvidia 6600gt 512mb. now i can play 720p movies but not smoothly, lags pretty bad, and there's no way to play 1080p.

now i don really care bout 1080p atm, but in your opinion, is there no other way for me to watch 720p smoothly other than a pure hardware upgrade?

i'm running on klite mega btw.

720p, i assume you mean H264 720p, yes the hardware requirement is high.
Klite mega, iirc it does not have CoreAVC anymore, which is a fast h264 software decoder.
you can try Dixv7
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/874737/+0#entry24357588
Just select the H264 decoder during install, and use your default player(eg mpc), because Dixv Player are slower.
iirc it is faster than CoreAVC(software mode, no CUDA of course)

Added on March 15, 2009, 3:18 amYou have to remove the DRM by using some program, called FairuseWM

Well, removing DRM does not seemed to be an issue here.
There are some thread of tutorial on removing DRM.

but that's weird, coz i'm running on the exact same klite mega on my uber slow notebook and there's not even a glitch~!

my notebook is a celeron @ 1.5GHz with 1.2GB ram, but its running on ATI Radeon Xpress 200M.

same video and same player?
if its true, then its must be something wrong with ur pc.
P4 is much faster than celeron.

hey bro, i tried the method u taught me, only installed the H264 decoder, and so many other options i didn't even tick, lolz... but it worked wonderfully. the previous 720p file worked like a charm right now.

thanx alot bro!!!

I downloaded mp4 file.
then i use winamp pro to play it.. the problem is there is no picture, only sound can be heard.
