I'm having trouble viewing high definition .mkv files. The video plays, but it's incredibly choppy and skips scenes. And it's not just one video that I'm having trouble with, it's any .mkv file (most are usually encoded in the H.264 standard), anime or otherwise.
I've been wondering, could this be an indication to the fact that my computer's getting old and that I should get a new one or is there a relatively easy fix that I've missed?
My computer
Intel Pentium 4 - 2.93 GHz processor
512 MB DDR of RAM
ATI Radeon™ 8500 128MB Graphics Card
I ask this because I'd rather not spend $3000 buying a new computer when I could simply replace my video card or get additional to remedy the problem.
Thanks in advance.
