[QUOTE="horseflesh, post: 578264, member: 46653"] Today I tried playing a 720p quicktime movie... And my system couldn't keep up at 24 fps. I was pushing about 15 frames per sec which doesn't seem right for the system specs. I have the 17" 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, with the Nvidia 8600 GPU, hi-res screen, 4 GB RAM, OS 10.5.1, fresh reboot, no other apps running except for a RAM/CPU meter in the menu bar. ([url=http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/menumeters/]Raging Menace - MenuMeters[/url]) I tried removing Perian, just for kicks, but no change. This is the clip: [url=http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809752801/video/6027003]Star Trek trailers and video clips on Yahoo! Movies[/url] There are links to hi-def versions under the embedded video. Is something screwy, or is this normal hi def playback performance? Thanks for your thoughts. [/QUOTE]
