Hi,
I am having real problems getting a new(ish) HTPC to play back mkv movies smoothly. It stutters (both audio and video) very badly. At first I thought it was the network connection, but I have eliminated that by swapping the HTPC with one I have in another room. The other HTPC plays back everything perfectly, but the problematic one is still stuttering connected to the same network port where the other HTPC worked perfectly.
The system I am having the problem with is ...
CPU: Core i3-2100T
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H67N-USB3-B3
I'm using SAF 6.1 for my codec. Using LAV for audio and video. If I used FFDShow, I get really bad pixellation. I am beginning to suspect this hardware is simply not up to the job.
Does anyone else have the same CPU/Motherboard combination and have it working properly?
