dmd-0 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hi. On windows xp i can watch hd and blu ray rips in bs player smoothly, but in osx, playback is "choppy", seeking takes a long time... I have tried with quicktime, vlc player and nice player..the same thing in all of them.. my configuration is: OSx iAtkos v7 (10.5.7) cpu: Pentium 4 2.8 HT (oc-ed 3,03ghz) ram: 2gb ddr2 mbo: foxconn 8ksh2 vga: gf 8500gt 512mb Is it bcz of too slow hardware (i suppose OSx is using more hw resuorces than win xp) or the problem is with software? also, a minor problem - is there any way to get multimedia keys on BTC 5213c keyboard working? thank you in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223475-problems-with-choppy-playback-of-video-in-high-quality/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check in System Profiler.

dmd-0 Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 1 thing i have just noticed - using XBMC (http://xbmc.org/), playback of those videos under OSx is fine..so i suppose xbmc is using other codecs or other renderer? can u recommend me some player that is nice and simple as NicePlayer or something that will solve problem when playing high quality videos?

muchlife Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 720p should play fine in VLC, however with 1080p MKV files, even my real 8 core Mac Pro has issues I have to change settings in VLC -> Other Codec to get working, but it degrades the quality slightly, so now i only download 720p files try to edit VLC settings from this guide i found (you can always reset VLC back to defaults) first link http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&...AAAAqgQFT9COHew Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223475-problems-with-choppy-playback-of-video-in-high-quality/#findComment-1502581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
