Juddery HD

[Sp00n]

When playing HD video on my pc it never seems to be very smooth.

WMP11 with wmv files is a lot better than quicktime but both are unwatchable, wmp plays ok for a bit then stops and carries on 5 seconds later whereas quicktime plays constantly but juddery.

My spec:

Athlon 1700+
768mb ram
radeon 9500 (7.1 drivers)

Is it my pc spec?

So thats a yes on the specs then, ta

Mine does it at a lot less than 15mins, in the halowars trailer it gets to about 14 seconds then skips 2 seconds.

Look at the task manager, the cpu jumps to 100% when it skips so i guess it probably is my specs, didn't realise HD was so processor dependent :/
