    Hi,

    For my second problem with this stupid taiwan made thing is that when I try to watch the new Ultimate Fighter episode in VLC or WMP it acts like its reading and scratched DVD disc.
    And its budget DVDrip quality, round a 1000kbps


    I have re-installed the nVIDIA driver and still is unwatchable.

    I don't have this problem with Spotify or Youtube.


    I got the basic G73J with i5 460m and GeForce 460m


    Thanks in advance!

    Maybe it's the crappy VLC player and DirectShow codecs you are using. (VLC is the Winamp of Video)

    I use PowerDVD 10 Ultra and MPC-HC with great success.

    +1 for MPC-HC. It's definitely the media player I use for everything. Also, I added a codec that allows me to play archives via any media player. Makes multi part RAR downloaded stuff play without having to extract or anything.

    It might be VLC indeed, i try not to use it as much as possible, if you can confirm that there is some way to play .mkv files with MPC-HC i'll make the definitive switch.

    @OP, there is absolutely no harm in trying MPC-HC, it'll help you pinpoint the issue at the very least.

    EDIT: Sorry for somewhat hijacking the thread

    It has in-built support. Stick with 32-bit builds.

    OP's issue sounds like Macrovision/copy protection trouble. Should be fine with a Read DVD Player application or MPC-HC.
