My computer can't seem to play .TS files properly. The video/sound skips and sometimes freezes at certain intervals. The ones I have are 1440x1080i and 1920x1080i. I'm using windows media classic, I've tried different decoders and nothing's helped. System specs:

E8400
2GB ram
Radeon HD4850 512mb
7200 rpm HDD (I believe)
Monitor running 1600x1200 res

I can run regular non-TS 1080i/p videos file.

What decoders/programs have you tried?

 

[Kirosia]

I'm using windows media classic, and I've tried the built-in decoders, ffdshow ones, cyberlink.

EDIT: VLC seems to be able to play it back after some configuration, but I still find it odd that Windows media classic can't. (It plays everything else fine)

have you tried gomplayer?

it works quite well for me:
GOM software - Free, Simple, Light, It just plays! - GOM Media Player, GOM encoder

Have you tried using the K-lite codec pack? I use the standard pack and can play just about anything.

 

[Kirosia]

I have k-lite mega codec pack. I guess I'll just use VLC to play TS files.

 

[intoflatlines]

Yeah, K-lite plays anything for me. Wish I could help more.

 

[floydenheimer]

I usually use WMP11 for TS files instead of WMPC.

i use VLC for movies. it's no good for music though. doesn't play smoothly. for that i use windows media player.

I recommend you give VideoLAN Client a try.
Seems to handle all the video files I throw at it, even those 1080P files other players struggle with.

Is this video encoded with H264/x264? If so, you might try enabling H264 acceleration under WMP Classic Home Cinema. Read through some of the basic, but very vital, information to ensure the acceleration gets offloaded to the GPU. Every time I see 3-4% CPU usage on 1920x1080 videos, I never fail to inwardly grin.
