Try using Plex in OSX.

Seems like VLC should be able to handle it... depending on what you're playing it could just be too much to handle. Maybe try mplayer as well, or even Quicktime (install Perian first) and let Quicktime parse through the whole thing (you'll see the bar slowly fill up).

I play 720p stuff full screen with no problem... been a while since I've done 1080p but I'm pretty sure that worked fine as well (2.8 8-core, 8800GT) at 1900x1200. The higher resolution of that monitor might just be too much

Try lowering the resolution to 1900x1200 and then doing full screen to maybe see if the problem is somehow full-screen playing, or the resolution.

I install perian...i put in 1280 resolution ...same problems in full screen

how big is the movie you're trying to play? If its too high data rate its likely that your hdd that can't keep up, not the cpu/gpu


also, iirc, .mkv is a container, do you know what format its actually encoded in? [i.e. h.264 etc]

 

[mastersoft]

the .MKV files have 15GB .....x264...1080p

Yeah, that sounds like it might be too much video.

When you go to full screen, on top of decoding the video the program has to scale to fit the screen as well, whereas with windowed mode it's just directly decoding without any scaling. Doing full screen just might be too much for the computer to handle.
