Playing *.mkv (Matroska) files - Page 2

I don't think it's a problem with the PC's oompf, It's successfully played 1080p files before hand. It's just that a second file with similar issues to a first one has cropped up grrr..

Edit- just finished downloading an Apple 1080p trailer - that works fine.

Apple trailers are MOV though, they are easier to decode, the thing that causes problems is the fact x264 (and h264) can take serious horsepower to decode, especially with high bit rates.

My 3500+ can play 1080p Apple trailers.

Wtf? Now, all of a sudden out of the blue it works? MPC (not the HC version) with ffdshow appears to have cracked it?

I'll just test it on the other dud file.

Edit - yeap, it's fine
