[QUOTE="The3, post: 881123, member: 126914"] Hey all, I'm totally new to MP, but I've got a bizarre playback issue going on that I'll try to explain -- hopefully someone out there knows what might be wrong. Several days ago, I installed MP and the "My Films" and "TV Series" plugins. I started by importing some HD TV shows and movies (H.264 .mkv) that I had previously downloaded, and they all played perfectly after I installed the LAV filters. Then, I began the long and tedious process of ripping & transcoding my DVD collection. I've been using Handbrake, and creating the same kind of files (e.g. same codec and container). Now's when things get strange. These new files, when I try to play them in MP, are crippled by stuttering video. The audio plays perfectly smooth and continuously, but I'll have a static frame onscreen for a second, then it will jump as if the video is catching up, possibly play smoothly for a moment, and then stutter again. But when I pull up the videos in VLC, they play perfectly. Any idea what might be going on here? After a little investigation on the forums here, I didn't find any obvious answers. Presumably, this is SOME sort of codec issue, but the fact that other H.264 MKVs play just fine while others don't has me completely stumped. [/QUOTE]
