First off id like to say hello to everyone here, hi!

Ok so my problem is this, my system seems to be too damn slow to play my HD video downloads. I have paid for an episode of lost in HD through the itunes store and its just totally unwatchable... I'm surprised as the computer is meant to be pretty good at handling HD. So I'm told... I tried running the file through Quicktime only to fine it runs pretty much the same as it does through itunes. VLC and other programs don't seem to play the files downloaded from the itunes store because of the drm? I forget what its called but basically i could do with some help!

System as follows.
Its an Acer Aspire Revo running a fresh install of windows 7
2 gig ram, Intel atom cpu, and a Nvidia ION graphics chip running with the HDMI output.

Just to add, its hooked up to a 46 inch set to 1080p at 60 Hertz.

Thanks in advance! :)
 
Not sure how i will go about playing it in 720 but will look into that, thanks. Also noticed you live in Bath? Funny, that's where i moved from! Hah.
 
Thanks so much. As soon as i get home i will be sure to download that, its not like its too expensive! Only trouble is that the itunes downloads are locked to either that or Quicktime...
Can anyone else suggest a good way to legally download TV shows and films? I use the 360 from time to time for film rentals but i feel totally ripped off if I,m honest!
