I need help.

My sister sent me a DVD full of .mkvs but for some reason whenever I open them in VLC, they play fine for about a minute... then VLC suddenly decides to replay the file from the beginning again, but this time without sound.

If you know how to fix this, please tell me.

If no one knows how to fix the VLC problem, I'd appreciate it if someone could point out which of the files on the http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html I'm supposed to download. It's a bit (okay, a lot) confusing for me.

Or if there are any other free .mkv players out there that are reliable, let me know.

Thanks.

A friend told me to try Allplayer. It solves the silent repeats problem, but introduces a new one: it won't show subtitles. Anyone re: the OP... ?

http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/downloads.php?tr_lang=en

I'm assuming your on Windows, choose one of the first two downloads on that page.

Very good. It works perfectly, thanks. And everyone recommends VLC...

I prefer Media player classic

http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/

I like it, too, but my PC doesn't. Heh.

Anyway, thanks to those who tried. +1 internets to sgt. /thread

Dunno why, VLC is pretty bad. I use smplayer2 and MPC-HC/madVR.
