make sure you go into Options>Internal Filters>Transform Filters and uncheck H264/AVC (FFmpeg) and VC1(FFmpeg) to take full advantage of hardware decoding and free up your CPU.

That doesnt help with playing blue ray discs though.
"Media Player Classic Home Cinema allows you to enhance, decode and accelerate a broad span of movie formats like x.264 with GPU assisted acceleration and image quality enhancing. The WMP Classic Home Cinema player does not require many system resources than the rest of the video media players to run smoothly. This is a low PC resources windows media player that runs on slower machines with older CPUs.
Modern graphics card offer the possibility to decode partially or completely a video stream using DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA), in order to reduce CPU usage dramatically. MPC-HC includes an embedded video decoder that uses this technology, to decode x.264, H.264 and VC-1 with hardly any CPU time required."
In other words it palys bluray
...this program does not natively play Blu Rays
In my experience, not all blu-ray movies are played OK on 64 bit Windows 7. So far I am not getting any satisfactory performance on Star Trek (2009). Strangely, same movie on 32 bit Windows 7 (and XP) is played flawlessly. Even after ripping the movie as a m2st file on a hard disk drive, performance was the same. So, I suspect that 86 bit Windows 7 has a flaw in playing some blu-ray movies. Has any one tried the Star Trek on 64 bit Vista or Win XP?
star trek 2009 plays with no problems on my windows 7 pro 64-bit. Maybe you need shark's codec pack (install 64-bit components as well). See link in previous posts on this thread.
Dear Swarfega, I connected to <http://shark007.net/> and looked for 64 bit version but could not find. Only thing I found was 'ffdshow.exe'. Anyway I installed it but there is no clear improvement was observed. The movie is still very choppy. Can you tell me where and how I can find the 64 bit version of the codec?
Thank you!
I installed Win7codecs_v229.exe and x64Components_v234.exe and followed the instruction to link codecs to WMP but the WMP did not play StarTrek blu-ray disc. I attach the requested snapshot.
