1080p MKV Files Stutter Why?

Hey guys I recently purchased a P-7811 FX Laptop and when I try to play movies that are 1080p in Mkv format, the movie constantly lags and stutters. I have tried VLC Media Player, KM Player, and Media Player Classic; but all of them stutter (VLC Plays better than the rest though).

I currently have the divx codec installed. What can I do to get my 1080P Mkv videos to play smoothly on my computer?

 

uninstall the divx codec and use CCCP codec package http://cccp-project.net/.

if that doesm
t do it, then you probably need to update/rollback your video or sound drivers.

 

its a driver issue. not a media player issue
'check out corecodec
http://www.corecoded.com/

 

I use corecodec too and it's great.

 

I use Zoomplayer as it's free, fast, and install all the codecs automatically. If Zoom doesn't work, my last backup is Windows Media Player Classic, and if that fails...oh hell, I'm returning this lappy

 

and here we go again...its not a player issue its a driver issue.

and if you really want to get into it...its really the way windows decides what to decode first and thats why its stuttery.

 

You can also install ffdshow and the MKV directshow filter only which will play all MKV files without the cruft and it will play perfectly.

 

you need s dual core program, it would stutter on my T5450, install the CCC codec pack

 

CoreAVC Professional (best performance) or CyberLink PowerDVD 8 (best quality)

 

Yeah, but you can get the same performance with the free CCCP

 

ok so i installed coreAVC and now everything is playing smoothly in Windows Media Player, Thanks to everyone for the help

 

Could someone take a moment to explain what exactly CCCP does to make .avi files play more smoothly on my 6831?

Right now i am trying to play avi's on my 55" widescreen via the hdmi port at a resolution of 1280x720 for the TV as the 2nd screen, when the video pans it gets real laggy. I have tried zoom player and windows media player, etc and it does not make a difference in performance. Which codec pack and which video player should i use? Is there also a dvd playing program (either dvd's or ripped directories on the HD) that takes advantage of dual core as well?

 

I am also having this problem with my Asus v2s. I am using hdmi to connect to my 1080p samsung. I installed ffdshow, didnt work...uninstalled that, installed CCCP, tried zoomplayer, vlc, and wmp classic, and it still stutters as well. I have a t7500 2.2 ghz, 2g ram, and an 8600gs. Is it even possible to play 1080p on this?? I realize that the best option would be CoreAVC, but I dont really wanna buy it if I won't be able to play it with this hardware anyway. Please be as specific as possible with any suggestions, I am not too good at this stuff. I appreciate any help.

Thanks

Will,

I did notice a reduction in the lag when I changed the resolution on the 2nd monitor (55" CRT) from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 (30hz) via the video display options--I think that if I could have reduced the resolution to 720x480 (basic dvd resolution) I would even be more happy, but that is not an option w/the video driver that my gateway shipped with. My main problems were scenes when the camera pans as the computer just didnt seem to keep up with the video.

I would like to understand how the codecs work i guess, do some of the above mentioned codecs decode faster than others and/or offload some of the video processing to the actual video card? or use the 2nd core of a dual-core processor?

 

CCCP & CoreAVC stutters too much on my 1.67 CPU for 1080p MKV files, so I use Cyberlink. I think Cyberlink has the DxVA option to offload some of the video processing to the video card.
