I did a partition format and re-install of the OS Yosemite. It was the same regards the stutters in iTunes and Quicktime Player. I have both VLC and also tried MPlayerX, and they both can play the same video without the kind of big freeze frame/resume problems that I see with Quicktime player and iTunes. Though fine for watching back my own DVD rips, I also regularly rent videos from iTunes so I dont think VLC will be of use to me in that department. I can only guess it's to do with some kind of hardware video acceleration problem with quicktime. Is it worth me replacing my HDD with an SSD for this reason still? I was going to do that before I knew about the stutter, but now I'm not sure it's worth boosting it to max RAM and SSD since I'm not entirely happy with the video playback.
Though I've read it was suggested somewhere, I have not managed to do a PRAM refresh because my keyboard is a non-apple bluetooth perhaps... not being fast enough to catch on whilst booting. So is it worth be buying a USB keyboard to do the PRAM clearing thing given I did a full partition format and re-install of Yosemite?
