The Matroska Media container is a very popular, open standard Multimedia container which is usually found as .MKV files. It is a very popular format in enthusiast circles and can be played directly in Windows Media Player with suitable codecs installed. We use the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP).
We ripped our BluRay disc of AVATAR to 1080P MKV and use Windows Media Player to playback the file.
The system requires around 24 percent CPU time.
Great laptops, bit expensive for me, but for a business user they rock. weird they haven’t released a new haswell range yet, maybe later in the year?
My boss has one of the older models, its been through the wars and still holding strong. well built.
