I have my ps3 and my laptop hooked to my full hd lcd tv via HDMI cables.

I've recently downloaded a 1080p Blueray movie but when I play it on my comp it lags, my CPU isn't powerful enough to play it apparently. How do I get around this?
 
btw, I've only tried playing the .mkv file with VLC.

what cables do you use for hooking the laptop up to the TV. Ive been thinking about trying this for a week or two now but havent got an iota of what cables I would need?
 
try "The Core Media Player"

I managed to play a 1080p movie smoothly on my PC with this player.

The are other possibilities as uninstalling all your codecs and install only CoreAVC and something for sound.
 
haven't seen a bluray movie except maybe at the TV stores - how is the quality?
reason I ask is that I have a 1080P TV but feel that it's not showing to it's maximum potential.

Get rid of all your codecs. Install the K-Lite Codec pack and play with the classic WMP that gets installed with the pack. Plays smoothly then.

Cheers, works smoothly now.

He could just take it out of the Matroska container and play it on the PS3.

Weastey, are those Atom laptop efforts(netbooks?) any good? I want a cheapish laptop that'll play DVD very well. I was thinking about a portable DVD player, but I've been advised to buy a lappy.
