my questions is, which player do you prefer to play your movies

I'm a sorely afflicted htpc user, and it's very strange about the sw-player & mkv's.
I've a lot of mkv's with HD content, and I testet it on different htpc's with different players, and I got different solutions.

Sometimes it wasn't not synchron (picture and sound) or it judder sometimes.
And different players have different CPU-utilization with the same mkv (h.264 HDContent)

my collection (Vista) : KMP 1432; MPC HomeCinema Edition 1.1.900; ZP 5.0 with ffdshow
From my experience, vlc is mostly synchron, but the SPDif support isn't working. it sounds likely "stereo"


suggestions are welcome.
