Guys I have copied a mkv file to a usb ext HDD and attached to my HTPC which I boot using a liveCD image on a usb key.
The file is Immortals.2011.BluRay.1080p.x264-LTT however I seem to be having issues?
Can anyone help as I am new to xbmc
Thank you

Hardware? Also, it's a bit ridiculous to expect perfect playback from a live CD.
HTPC 1 - Zotac ZBOX ID80U | 4GB RAM | 64GB SSD | Openelec | Confluence
HTPC 2 - Zotac ZBOX ID41U | 4GB RAM | 60GB SSD | Openelec | Confluence
Server -

As Plaguester has already mentioned, what's the hardware spec of your machine ?
It's not so rediculous to expect perfect playback from a live installation on a USB key as that's how I tested 2 of my systems before doing a "proper" install and they performed and played 1080p content flawlessly. 1 system is Atom ION based, the other is AMD Fusion based.
I suspect the hardware is not up to scratch or perhaps not fully compatible, have you tried files of lower bitrate ? Maybe some 720p and some SD content ? Also what version of XBMC?
It's hard to offer suggestions if you don't explain your scenario.
