Hey Guys,

I have been playing 720p .mkv smoothly with Windows Media Player 11 using Community Codec Pack. And i have no problems. But if i try to run a 1080p .mkv, the video is smooth, CPU utilization at 25% but the audio shutters.
I also tried the same video with media player classic and still the same, probably bcoz the same codecs are used by MPC.

Did anyone experience this or anybody who has some solution for this? Plz help. :)

I googled and found that it mite be due to the audio codecs.

I thought of going for PowerDVD but PowerDVD does not even play them. There exists a hack to play .mkvs in PowerDVD. If someone has an idea about this, plz enlighten. :)
Also, can we use Nvidia Purevideo decoder to decode .mkv files?

Also, any other ideas to play them without shutter would be welcome.:)

Thanks,
Bye.
 
Try KMPlayer or Zoom player....both are pretty solid. KMPlayer plays stuff on which even VLC hangs
 
Media Player Classic HomeCinema with the CoreAVC codec. Period.
Remove the stupid CCCP, just install XViD, AC3filter,and CoreAVC.

mplayer for everything else
 
I think CoreAVC is for H264, I am currently using ffdshow for playing everything using MPC. can anyone enlighten me?
 
ffdshow is what comes with CCCP. Since the audio is shuttering and not the video, i don't think ffdshow video is the problem but there mite be some conflicts with AC3 with ffdshow audio decoder due which the stutter.

However, I will uninstall every codec installed and then redo the installation of only the required codecs and use CoreAVC instead of ffdshow with AC3 and then get back with the outcome guys. :D

Does no one know about the PowerDVD hack? :huh:
 
Also depends on the video card you have. doom9.org is a great resource or installing codecs and codec packs can get messy.

With some cards mostly Nvidia MPC HC has hardware acceleration built in for h264, with others it doesn't. There is an app called DCVA checker to check the status of hardware acceleration in your system. Also the MPC HC site has a list of supported cards for hardware acceleration. Incase you have hardware support you don't need a software decoder and you can play lag free h264 content with minimum CPU usage. Coreavc is the next best option being the fastest software decoder. Combine that with MPC or Zoom player and you have decent setup for non laggy h264 playback.

Using CCCP gets you ffdshow which is competent but uses too much CPU for H264 playback and can get laggy on some systems. CoreAVC gets rid of that. Nero showtime also has hardware support for H264 playback on some cards.
 
MPC home cinema or its standalone mpc video decoder(in any directshow basedplayer) will work great if u have level 4.1 compliant 1080p files otherwise for software decoding, coreavc is the fastest.
 
I have one 1080p video not smoothly play.

Tested Software :

1. Windows Mdeida Player 11 with Full updates
2. Ace Codec PACK
3. Vista Codecs
4. ffdshow codec

My PC is able to play 99.99% of any format audio n video files. Its also play HDTV files but not smoothly.
 
Hey everyone,

Finally, i tried all what u guys said and it worked out. :clap:

To summarize:

1. Uninstall all codec packs.

2. Do a reboot.

3. Scan registry for errors and clean it off using any registry cleaner for traces of registry entries of the codecs.

4. Install XviD, AC3, Vobsub and CoreAVC (Includes Haali Media Splitter) individually

5. Use the faithful Windows Media Player 11 to play all ur HD videos

So, no need to try out any other media player. Stick to Windows Media Player 11 as always and enjoy HD :ohyeah:

And just to mention it looks so beautiful and plays without any lag or stutter. Also now the long time it used to seek is no more existent as well.

@lucky chauhan

Try this out and it should work too :)

Thanks everyone for ur help :)

Bye.
