How to play HD 1080p H.264 mkv on low end laptops

After following a few steps, I can now play 1080p movies PERFECTLY @ 60fps on my laptop.

Here are the steps:

1) go on google and search for k-lite codec. get the latest version. When it asks you to config k-lite codec, do not tell it to install MPC. For the lazy ones, here is a link: http://www.free-codecs.com/K_lite_co...k_download.htm

2) download MPC-HC (medial player classic - homecinema) here:
http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/downlo...lassic-hc.html

3) get on MPC-HC and press o for the options menu.

4) go to playback-output and make sure that EVR custom is selected (the last option in the list). Also make sure the EVR buffer level is as low as possible.

5) go to the external filter tab and click on add filter. Click on fddshow video decoder and click ok.

6) After adding fddshow video decoder onto the filter list, click on block.

7) now you can enjoy 1080p high def content @ 60fps.
