VLC + .mkv issue

Teki187 · 24 Jun 2009 at 09:52

I'm no the only one with this issue, but recently me and my girlfriend have been having problems with VLC playing .mkv files. Either the video will skip, the scene will freeze and you have to reboot, or it'll freeze and then 5mins later it'll come back.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.

You using the latest version of VLC? 0.9.9 I think.

Yeah both using the latest version. Also haven't changed any of the settings at all.

Does the .mk2 play ok in other software?
Could be the file.

in fact... what is a .mk2 anyway?

.mkv, its for high definition videos.

System is a:

Q6600 @ 3.4Ghz
1Gb GTX 280
4Gb Memory

Should be fine for .mkv.

I don't know what it could be, sometimes it works perfect without an issue, then sometimes it stutters and halts.

It ranges from recorded HD video, to trailers of computers games, to TV shows.

How do i do this Ffdshow method?
