Hi, hope someone can help as this is causing me some some frustration. I have just purchased a new AV amp and was hoping to watch some HD files with surround sound. I am trying to play blu-ray rips in MKV format. At varying points in a film the screen freezes and the film goes out of sync. I am playing the file on a laptop which accesses the file off my main pc over a 100mb home network.
All files start off playing well, but all eventually fail. I have tried moving the file to the same pc they are being played on, but makes not difference, so it is not the fact it is going over a network.
The laptop I am using is connected to an Onkyo 807 which in turn connects to a 55" Samsung LED. Sound is routed via optical out of the laptop.
All files fail to play and video breaks down and sound goes out of sink and then the only option is to close the file and start the file again, but the same thing happens at various points in the film. I have tried several HD bluray rips in MKV format and all are the same.
I have also tried several different builds of XBMC for windows, all the same.
Any ideas anyone or suggestions?
May be worth pointing out that the same thing happens when playing the file via VLC - starting to think it amy be a memory problem! I have two of these laptops and both are the same
The Laptop is an Acer 6920g spec below, which should be powerfull enough.
