Choppy video problems

[Droolinggimp]

I am trying to play a Mpeg video file. WMP doesnt recognise the file type so I have to resort into using VLC player. The file is a big HD clip. I have no problems playing .ts files or any other ones but this clip is pushing my CPU to its maximum, hence the choppyness.

Like i said any other video files, large or small play fine but this is killing me.

Any thoughts

I have got FFdshow installed. Even when I stream it to my Xbox via media center it still choppy..


Unless I need to alter some settings in FFdshow? I not too sure
