[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 907771, member: 89124"] *probably not* but, it couldn't hurt to try. How much HD space do you have available on the system? and how much RAM do you have? it sounds similar to something running in the background using some of the GPU for something causing the video to stutter... if you have an external keyboard/mouse, you should be able to just wake the computer back up with the lid shut - this is how I use my laptop at work most of the time (still waiting for work to get me the stand I want to bring my laptop screen to the right height as the main screen). have you checked your cpu usage to make sure something isn't interfering? try installing istat menus and watch cpu usage while you're working doing things and check the activity monitor to see what's going on with your RAM... Well, they were referring to HD video and mkvs that had subtitles in them it seemed - not just subtitles - but I agree that it didn't provide a satisfactory solution, I was more wondering if you had seen it, and also if the output you were experiencing was similar to their descriptions...
