Guys, I um have Quantum of Solace on my MBP in 1080p (like 12GB) and it struggles to playback?

Why is this? I have Higher Performance enabled, and all apps closed? I mean lower bitrate films I have in HD run ok and I'm positive it wasn't like this before?

More to that, HD stuff purchased from iTunes playsback poorly with stuttering etc, at first I thought its because all my iTunes media is stored on my Drobo but I've tested its transfer speeds and its pretty darn good!

I'm confused.com :confused:

My mum's £399 Acer laptop can play the same file perfectly fine.

Just shows how bad Apple's price : performance ratio is. :(

Har Har....

But For Info:

I actually think it may be a problem with the selecting of Higher Performance / Better Battery Life. I selected back to Better Battery, restarted and then selected Higher Performance and restarted. I think its cleared it now, because as of this post I opened it again and it played back fine (except 1 or 2 skips) but thats totally direct from my Drobo?

Very strange indeed, but also today my Bluetooth went off completely, would not sync my keyboard and thus through searching on Apple's discussion forums I noticed that switching off and disconnecting the power cable for a minute can reset the Bluetooth?

Perhaps this was a glitch as well with the graphics?
 
GAYS.

Lets talk about me and my MBP. I'm worrying a bit now. It seems as if the QOS download perhaps maybe dodgy or simply too much for it but thats what is surprising.

I have plenty of other HD movies, like Top Gun :cool: in 1080p which plays great (and thats over FW800 from my drobo). Other movies like Bourne in 1080p plays sweet. They can be jerky sometimes but thats because I don't think VLC buffers like QT does?

I haven't got any MAC based game to throw at it so its hard to work out what the issue (if any) there is?

/Back to drawing board....more tests are needed.
