    Quicktime 7 came out for Windows today with the ability to play h.264 clips with HD resolution. Lets see if we can play them on our Dell notebooks!

    With my 6000D, 1.86ghz, 1 gig of RAM, 128x300 card. I can play the 720p videos just fine but not the 1080p videos. Lots of frame drops with 1080p.

    I could not play the quick time one either at 1080p but I think these play at 1080p. I am loading t2 now to try again.

    T2 1080p plays! I used the nero player I think I tried this before with media player and it also played. Probably a problem with the Apple thing.
