Yah? Can someone explain to me why it will choke when playing HD movies ie. mkv, mp4 in media player classic in stamina mode? like i see huge pixels or blocks.
BUT! it plays HD movies smoothly in windows media player in stamina mode, its a bit puzzling.

I use Media Player Classic as part of the K-Lite Codec Pack. I use the regular version, v6.4.9.7, not the Home Cinema flavor. LINK
I don't have any problems whatsoever, regardless of the GPU selected. I have even "archived" full Bluray movies to .M2TS and played them with no ill effects.
Check your codecs and be sure you have the latest version of MPC. You may also check your HW acceleration settings for the nVidia GPU in FFDShow or whatever MPEG-4 codec you are using. -
And make sure your thermal strategy is not set to silent.

Try without all the codec stuff (tough it can be hard to remove all the crap the codec packs install) and just the latest SVN ffdshow and MPCHC:
ffdshow tryouts project (x86/x64) - XvidVideo.RU
and
Media Player Classic Home Cinema (x86/x64) - XvidVideo.RU
Ofcourse get the x64 builds if you run W7 64. -
I use the 32bit k-lite package and always set my thermal control to silent.

Just use media player classic home cinema. Uses your videocard to help decoding the image and the image is ultra smooth for me ^_^

Maybe it is due to a crappy video encoding ?

looks like the OP is MIA.

No offence Zoinks but I would actually discourage k-lite (even the regular versions) because it is rather bloated...
I would STRONGLY recommend CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack, not the Russian CCCP...). The lightest darn codec package you can get, installing the bare essentials and nothing that you'll probably never use (6MB for the most stable release at the moment). You can install MPC-HC as an option and that will allow for .flac playback and anything else WMP or whatever player you may use at the moment may not play.
Hey. See my sig; need I say more...? -
k lite made it choke for some odd reason and always had used it. -

Hmm, I use either K-Lite or VLC. VLC being self contained usually presents no problems, and since 1.1, VLC supports Nvidia hardware DXVA. Though K-Lite has never given me any problems, I have never really tried CCCP, so.... But it's good that you found a solution!
Why does the Sony Vaio Z choke when playing HD movies in Media player classic?
