Righty, well, many people may know that I've been complaining about several annoying software problems with my computer... but I figured it wouldn't hurt to throw another one out onto the road.
So, simply, this one occurs with only HD 480 and/or 720 p/i video files. Like the HD 720p Team Fortress 2 meet the's and the trailers.
The computer either plays the video files but skips several frames, or plays the video and audio at a constant continual framerate (occasionally skipping one or two frames) and the audio nicely, but doesn't manage to stop/pause/close very instantaneously. I could press pause (or in vlc, press spacebar) to try to pause it. And a couple seconds later, the audio stops, but the video continues/plays double speed until it catches up to where the audio was at before it paused.
Is this a hardware incapability to play these high resolution videos? Or does ti have something to do with a software problem/setting?
Before you answer, check my system specs. Could help a little.
(Also, I've seen slower PC's manage DVD's. Mine cant always play DVD's without pausing the video for a fraction before continuing to play it. Would it be because I got a 4x DVD burner?)
