Well, this I wonder myself because I couldn’t play back 1080p before but I decided to do some research and reinstall K-Lite and Core AVC Pro with the “right” settings.
I have tested the Dark Knight trailers (.mkv) and several other trailers in different formats.
From what I can see it runs smoothly but what do you mean by dropped frames? Is that something you can see or something you get reported by some program?
I do use “Deblocking”: Skip always in Core AVC – perhaps that’s cheating? I can however not see the difference 😉
I do not use Media Player Classic Home Cinema version because I found that to be a bit slower, I use the regular Media Player Classic (ver. 6.4.9.0)

After some further testing I can now play 1080p movies with no skipping and good perfomance, I have tested all kinds of formats .wmv, .mov, .mkv, .mp4. It actually works! Amazing…
What I use is:
Windows Media Player Classic
K-Lite Basic (installed without H264 because of Core AVC)
Core AVC Pro
It is seriously cool that this little machine can be used as a fully fledged “media player” and connect it to the big screen and watch full HD 1080p in all its glory!

How exactly did you manage to playback 1080p in the formats provided without stuttering playback or dropped frames? I have tested a similar setup to yours, MPC – HC and Core AVC Pro, yet have experienced dropped frames with all the files tested. Some of the files I tested are “The Dark Knight” in a 1080p H.264 mkv file and also “The Ant Bully” in a .m2ts file from a Blu-ray disc.
