[Matroska-users] Can't seem to play .mkv with any media player

[ivan.kowalenko at gmail.com]

If video playback is jerky then your system is not fast enough to play the video. Most likely it's a high definition stream encoded with h.264, which at this point requires a rather powerful system to play back. Sorry, but unless you're going to transcode the video (this could take days, depending) or upgrade your hardware (a new CPU will do the trick) you won't be able to view this video.

If VLC cannot play this file, maybe your file is damaged...
