Where can I find very high bitrate HD WMV9s?

I'd like one with as high res/bitrate as possible to stresstest my system's ability to handle such movies. Anyone has any good tips here?

Thank you! :)
 
Get your hands on some 1080p video. That should really stress your system. I can currently play 720p video without any stutter or loss of frames (all thanks to PureVideo with my 6600GT :) HD-WMV Hardware Acceleration!). Even with PureVideo though my CPU goes up to 90%. I have a...

AMD Athlon 1.6GHz 200MHz FSB (Socket A)
1GB RAM (forget the speed)
10GB HDD (I had a 160GB drive on it...but its on my FileServer now)
XFX 6600GT AGP

Yeah..I know it sucks..lol..point is, I can play 720p video on a bad setup with Hardware Acceleration by using the Video Card to decode the HD video instead of the CPU. Unfortunatley Hardware Acceleration cannot perform miracles...I can't play 1080p video :(...I was expecting that much though..I'm happy that I can even play 720p.

Heres where i've been getting test video from...

HD-WMV Showcase

I currently have my 6600GT connected to my Monitor and the secondary DVI connection to my 27" HDTV (in my room)....Nothing like watching HD content on my HDTV :eek:...I just finished watching a couple of Xbox360 trailers (720p)....so pretty.
