[QUOTE="een_mq, post: 304512, member: 25187"] Spragleknas naled it in the head. So in summary: - when you try to play a HD movies, it will stutter - it stutter because the movie is software encoded and celeron 3.0GHz is too slow for software encoding Depending on the type of movies that you play, you can accelerate them using your GPU. You probably want to search the forum on "hardware acceleration" or something similar. However, hardware acceleration of .mkv files or any other HD movies are very problematic. Slight variation in encoding technique, and compression etc will disable hardware acceleration. This is not easy though, I myself do not know how to enable HW acceleration of h264 files on my setup. It requires the right video card (geforce 8000 and above, or ATI HD36xx and above) the right codecs (powerdvd 8) and the right movie files. Therefore, I would suggest to go the software encoding path, which is much more trouble free and cheaper too. My 1.83GHz Core2Duo is good enough to so software encoding of h264 HD movies. If you check this post: [url=http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/archive/index.php/t-892084.html]Minimum CPU for smooth 1080p h.264? [Text View] - AVS Forum[/url] Basically it is saying, anything starting from Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2 4800+ will encode HD movies without any problem (including 1080p which is the highest standard at the moment, also used by bluray) And also coreavc is the fastest sofware encoder for h264 streams. However, I think there is a very very tiny chance that your CPU is fast enough to do this, as that forum also mentioned that a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 can not decode HD movies smoothly with any codec. So, recommendation would be either watch a lower bitrate divx/xvid movies, or get yourself a Core 2 Duo or any of the newer AMD processor to watch HD movies. A CPU and motherboard combo are not very expensive nowadays.. Hope this helps Ed [/QUOTE]
