1080p AVC1 MKV Hardware Hog

[lubczyk]

I'm trying to re encode a file encoded off of digital tv. You see the file is encoded in avc1 at 1920x1080 in mkv at about 350 mb an episode. I think it was encoded in Nero then put into an mkv with a custom subtitle file. All my player mpc, mplayer, videolan chug along trying to play it with massive frame drops and jerkiness. Is there a way to losslessly transcode the file even if it means a bigger file size. Maybe encode it into Windows Media 9 at 120 fps with dupe frames in avi at a larger file size? I just want to watch it at 1920 x 1080 without it chugging along.

Any Suggestions?

* 1080p avc takes alot of cpu to decode

* adding frames will make things worse

* transcoding to another lossy codec is always....lossy

* only resizing the video down will help you, as other codecs aren't many times lighter/faster than avc

* you can't "losslessly transcode" a file if you have to resize the video

* it would seem you're in violation of rule 6, expect the thread to be closed

This series "le chevalier d eon" has yet to be licensed so fansubs are a-ok as of right now.

Finally got it working in SMPlayer. No more slow playback or frame drops. Thanks everyone who contributed.
