Sounds like a configuration problem with your playback software. If
it's something like Windows Media Player that doesn't have native MKV
support look into the settings for your splitter.

> 2.      Playback is jumpy on VLC player with HD files.

Sounds like you don't have a fast enough computer. HD files tend to be
either H.264 or VC-1 (less common), which just eat up processing
power. This is especially true if it's a 1080p video (which is growing
in popularity). You might not be able to play it back period. If the
problem doesn't exist in other media players, sounds like an issue
with VLC, and you probably ought to contact them about it.
