I put a few MKV files on my Xbox the other night. They came with subtitle files. When I tried to play them the sound was out of sync with the video and the video itself went all blocky at parts. But on the PC the MKV's run fine.

ANybody know why this would be and how to fix it?

as far as I'm aware XBMC plays them just fine, it just doesn't support swapping between the subtitles the last time i read up on it, the latest version may (or may not)

I've used it to play MKV files before, but it's just this particular set that stuff up on the Xbox. Subtitle swapping and customizing works as usual, it's just all out of time.

Could it be something to do with the way the MKV files were encoded?

if the codec is h264, which mkv files often are, the xbox's hardware limits the codec's playback to files with a resolution below 352x288 pixels. all files with a higher resolution, and most h264 videos are encoded for high quality, will be choppy and blocky and completely unwatchable.

Ah I see, and is there no fix available or a workaround for this problem?
