Which video player do you use? I have no problems with smplayer in order to play matroska videos.
If you want to convert mkv to another format, install winff.

Are you sure reason of the problem is video player? I tried some diffarent video players Vlc,gnome player,and default video player and resul is the same but i didnt try smplayer.

Can you open mkv videos(i.e. 4800p) with vlc?

I have only installed smplayer. Another thought is, do you have w32codecs installed?

No, i havent installed any codecs,just updated.Furthermore my system is intel atom N550 ,2gb ram and intel gma 3150 but i have used lisa and the problem like that has never been in lisa.

LMDE is not Lisa :wink: Try the w32codecs and if it does not work, convert mkv to avi with winff.

Sorry, i didn't ask for your LMDE version. w64codecs are correct for your system.

Have you updated to update pack 3? If not, update your system. And do you run PPA's what is not a good idea in LMDE?

Yes,i have updated to update pack 3.And no i am not run ppa's.How to do it?

I wanted to know, if you possibly run PPA's. They are for Ubuntu based systems and can cause problems in LMDE.

In Synaptic there is an option 'repair or fix broken packages' which you should try. If it does not work and you can not
install winff after this attempt, please post the output of

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install winff

And yes i have to expression the solution for other peopele which is encountering or which will encounter same problem.

Solution:

Open gnome-mplayer and preferences,take a look subtitle task.Remove the upper second tick which is about mkv.

And open the video with gnome-mplayer.
