• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I can't skip through .MKV files

I have several, high definition video files in the .mkv format. I use VLC to play them, but I can't ever skip through the video. anything over a few seconds makes the player crash. Why is this happening and what can I do to be able to skip through the video? Is it because the video is so large (they range from 4-7GB)? Is there a more stable video player? It stinks because I can't start where I left off if I close the file.
