Traveler S01E06 720p HDTV X264-DIMENSION

anyone else have trouble playing the mkv files.

i finally got vlc player, but it skips like crazy when playing it.

you may just not have a fast enough computer to play it? (these 720p files need
crazy processor speed) i would ask if you had
played them before, but since you just got vlc player i'm guessing that you
hadn't tried playing them before?

i had the same problem. the decoder used in vlc for these files is very
processor intensive. i have since started using the coreavc codec in media
player classic, which works really smoothly even on my crappy laptop.

what do you mean by "crappy laptop"? mine is ok, it's a centrino 1.73 ghz,
and it will go fine for a minute, then skip, and go fine. so i would assume
that you probably need at least 2 ghz to play these... anyone had luck with
lower?

even with pentium 3 2.4ghz it's kinda out of sync from time to time, but i tried
on a dual core 2 2.4ghz, it runs smoothly with no problem.

my experience is that any dual core can play them, almost all single cores below
3 ghz won't play them unless you use coreavc

ya, i hadn't tried before now and it's definately not cutting it.

oh well, i can live with the 700mb coming in at 720p on my lcd tv, looks just fine.

i have 3.0ghz pentium 4 processor(single) and it still stops time to time, i
am going to try install coreavc professional edition and see if that helps,

thanx for the upload from uk!

i play .mkv files all the time on my 1.6ghz pentium m / centrino t-42 laptop
with no problem at all.

i run linux (fedora core 4) and use mplayer.

mplayer is available for windows, btw. it plays them using only about 30% or so
of my max cpu horsepower.

2 players for slower computer that i recommend (or fast comps too)
this version of tcpmp that seems to have coreavc built in
h**p://www.megaupload.com/?d=yrznileb (note: it can not do 5.1 spdif but only
stereo so get other player if you have 5.1 system)

and coreavc codec in media player classic
h**p://isohunt.com/download/18118224/ (coreavc 1.3.0.0 codec (torrent))
download media player classic, haali media splitter (and ac3filter if you dont
have it) from
free-codecs.com
then if needed follow these image instructions
