Thanks! But I find video & audio sync problem (audio coming first) for 720p & above. Also, Iam using KM player and in superspeed mode. Some 720p files the video is not smooth. So, what would be the problem?

Are you saying the video is stuttering while playback or is it getting stuck altogether after a while ?

This is a problem with codecs. If you use Vista, This is where you will get a very reliable codec package. Vista Codec Package Homepage (VCP). I have been using this package for some time and watching .mkv files is a breeze. The stutter you are getting is due to old Haali splitter or VOBsub.

For XP, KLite codec pack is good. These packages ensure that default windows media player is able to play all formats without having to install any additional media player.

It is actually not video stuttering but slow from normal playback. But certain 720p videos play smoothly but again audio delay happens.

Currently, I have windows XP with service pack 2 installed with matroska codecs (combined community codec pack - CCCP) installed. I will try installing K-lite codec pack, but for this should I uninstall the existing CCCP?

Yes , I think when u try and install K lite , it will itself ask you to uninstall CCCP. Here is what i use to do when I had a HT machine. I used to install KLite and then would use Cowon Jet Audio for playback. You can also use Media Player Classic if you want !

Hi,

Try using VLC player ( VLC media player - Overview ) its a freeware and the best player. You can play any file and I hope it resolves all the problems. You can even select your audio streaming to spdif, 5.1 , stereo etc (If your MB supports).

Thanks

Ya,i was abt to say that,Vlc is a very good player.
Do not play ur vids in jet audio,particularly the HD vids,will lag for sure.
Instead play em in ur VLC,which can handle any type of file and codec.

Also speaking of the computer config,i would recommend you to change the graphic card to more recent one which can support HDMI,The ATI hd 2600 is a good choice as it also provides you the HD audio drivers for improved sound.
or you can also go for the 8800 gt which is a very good card.
You would also need a decent sound card,probably like sound blaster from creative.

Thanks! guys for your valuable inputs. I tried uninstalling the CCCP and installed K-lite. But the now the playback has become worse. I again uninstalled all and installed VLC, here playback was fine for the first 5 seconds and then video stuck.

I uninstalled everything and installed KMP player, and set to "superspeed" mode. As mentioned earlier the playback was not normal but little slow motion with audio delay.

As Vj box said, I think upgrading the graphics and dedicated sound card should give considerable improvements. But as I said earlier, my system is having AGP slot, so pls suggest me an AGP based ATI card that has HDMI output. Also if possible, how much would it cost from mid to high end card in AGP series with HDMI.

Thanks!

It is just an indication that your codec package has become corrupted. Un-installing is not going to be any help. The biggest culprit here is CCCP package. They do bundle in VOBsub and Haali alongwith AC3 filter, their execution in putting all these things into windows is not very great. Presently your system is a mish-mash of codecs and players. Messy situation indeed.
