Run HD on my PC...which software?

12 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/run-hd-on-my-pc-which-software.101265/

I have a C2D, 2 gig RAM and an nVidia 7300GT
The specs are not a problem as HD movies and trailers are playing seamlessly and silky smooth on Ubuntu.
My prob is that,
I have K-lite Mega codec pack installed.
When I opened the HD file with Media Player Classic, it gives me the following error:

Unexpected EOF while reading EBML container

I guess the codec is not available.
Reinstalling the pack didnt help

What should I do?
PS. Its in .mkv format (useless point...still thought i'd like to add it here)

Did you try VLC?
*www.videolan.org/vlc/

^^
Yeah...using that for now

[I dont like it]

Okay! VLC is better than Media Player Classic, IMHO

Looks like I have to live with it then...

Thanks anywayz for the help

No probs! By the way, does MPC report that error for all media files?

^^
No...only HD files are reported....

Same happens for me, tht's y i don't try playin' them at all.

HD DVD trailers are a waste of bandwidth...............terminator 2 HD DVD trailer of just 2.5 minutes took around 95 mb.......what a waste???????????????????

No trailers my friend......I'm downloading short films like Big Buck Movie,Gopher, etc in HD as I have Unlimited net

Luky u^^

try reinstalling media player or say fresh install
