Is there anything software-related I can do, to make ubuntu play high-quality mkv files smoothely?
- by Roy
I've noticed that beyond let's say..a 20 MB/s bitrate, a movie would lag, played on my laptop..
It results in me missing the highest bitrated scenes of a movie..
And sometimes having to compromise for watching the movie at a lesser quality..
I was wondering if there's anything I can do software-wise to play movies smoothley..?
At the moment Ubuntu is installed with all the default settings on an 60GB SSD
I use VLC ofcourse..
I also have 2 1TB HDD - maybe I can use them as pagefiles? I don't really know alot about this so maybe this is irrelevant..
I took the laptop battery out since it was dead..but I think this is also irrelevant..
would appriciate a response, even if there's nothing that can be done software-wise :)
