aener Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Up 'till now - I've never had an issue. It's a Core 2 Duo @2gHz. Today, I received my HD camcorder (it's bloomin' sweet, by the way - video on the way), and hit a snag. I'd expected it, but I'm just wondering if there's a workaround. I can play and edit 720p alright, but at 1080 it coughs and splutters, staggers and just doesn't work all that well. Plays probably around 8-10fps on average, and occasionally stalls. I'm fine with sticking it in 720, but it'd be nice to know I CAN go for 1080 if I desire it. I'm in W7. I've closed all other applications and ended un-necessary processes, changed the power plan to high performance, switched the appearance down to Windows Classic, and gone in to the advanced settings and turned off all the bells and whistles. Is there anything else I can do to squeeze a bit more out of it? I don't really want to get in to overclocking... It'd mean learning how to do it, and I hear a lot of horror stories of overclocking laptops either way. Thanks for suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-Finger-er Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 look into your codecs, ive got an intel atom powered netbook, that plays 1080p smoothly at around 30%cpu load in wmp, i wouldnt like to try editing on it mind, its running windows 7, with 2gb of ram, and all bells and whistles turned on, try not to have too much else running, but having itunes/google chrome/msn/solitaire running at the same time dont seem to bother it. I had to tweak a few things(forced it to run nvidia ion drivers rather than ion le) and had to use a certain codec for it to work ok, but yea it runs fine now. i basically did a fresh install of windows, installed the coreavc media pack, and no others.

Topsy Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Look that the .exe is threaded to all cores, if you have a multicore cpu [Hope I now said that right with the "threaded"...] → Taskmanager → Processes → go to the prober one and the click on it ith the right mouse button → Click on the third thing from the bottom (my pc is in german...) Might help. Hope it does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I'm in exactly the same boat, but with a Pentium 3.0ghz D , 2gb ram on Windows 7 trying to edit 1080i AVCHD with vegas :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
