Is this a hardware or software problem?
My HTPC is a win7 64 box with a Q9450 and 7600GS outputting 1366x768 to an LCD TV. DVD, rmvb, all other video formats play smooth except for mkv files, which I assume are H.264 encoded. I'm using WMP with a couple codec packs installed. VLC player is a bit choppy too.
Do I need to try more codecs and tweaks, or is my 7600GS not cutting it? Google isn't giving me a clear answer either.
EDIT: When I say choppy, I mean 'not smooth.' The files do play, and you can watch them, but it's not ideal. That's why I suspect it being the card's horsepower.
