    Whenever I try to play an HD movie with iTunes it's really laggy. I know iTunes sucks, but was wondering the M11X R1 can't handle it? Or is it a problem with iTunes?

    It may just be iTunes' fault, maybe try another media player?

    Or try reinstalling. I don't have iTunes so I can't test this, sorry.

    iTunes is crap when it comes to watching movies or having music.

    I have itunes and VDJ, mediamonkey and vlc. Itunes for tagging/organizing. media monkey for music and vlc for movies.

    Itunes will lock up really bad when scrolling my music collection (over 600gb)

    The movies work perfectly fine on VLC and WMP.

    Guess it's just iTunes, was just trying to organize everything because I like using home sharing on the iPad.
