I'm having trouble playing a 720p mkv file on my computer. It won't open in Media Player Classic (with K-lite codec pack), or in GOMPlayer, but it does open in VLC. However, in VLC, it seems like it will skip a little bit every now and then and sometimes it screws up and starts the video over at the beginning (but when it does this the audio gets messed up).

My CPU is intel i7 - 720QM and my video card is ATi Mobility Radeon HD 5870.

How can I get files like this to play properly?

  • Also, seeking within the file in VLC doesn't work very well.

    Sounds like a corrupt video. Do you have trouble with 720p mkv files in general or just with this specific one?

I think Dennis is right. I have tried 720p videos from another source and they play fine. Also, when I tried to re-encode the file my encoding program gave me errors.
