Hey guys, having some issues with playing a 1080P .MOV trailer.
I downloaded the HD trailer for '300' (awesome movie by the way, must go see it), it's roughly 175mb. In WMP 11, it plays fine, but the audio is pretty dull (large amounts of bass come out as garbled near-static mess) and video quality is slightly degraded (looks a little blurry, acceleration/quality options at max in Options). However on MPC, playback is slow, the video stutters and chugs along. The audio stays in sync, but for the life of me nothing I do can get it to play smoothly.
I checked Task Manager, and WMP uses about 30-40% of my CPU (4600+ Dual Core at 2.88ghz) while MPC uses a constant 50% of both cores. Yet playback is still terrible. I use MPC and FFDSHOW (latest). Am I missing anything? Is there anything I can do to get decent steady playback in MPC (No, I will not use VLC in case anyone's wondering ).
I don't know if it's some kind of codec issue or what, but I would have figured an x1900 and 4600+ DC at 2.88ghz would be enough for smooth playback. I also have the latest Quicktime Alternative installed.
