    So this happens on my 3 computers at home. The videos are lagging like hell in both quicktime and VLC

    The first one-> 8600GT w/PV HD, Sempron 3100+. Okay, I thought my CPU wasn't up to.

    2nd one: Athlon TK X2 53 + ATI X1150: Okay maybe GPU can't

    3rd. E4500 + 8600M GT w/PV HD. WTF????????????

    Help appreciated >-<


    EDIT: fixed, damn power saving mode.

    Are you using FFDShow to decode video? Try CoreAVC instead.

    Yeah I don't think that the lower end AMDs can do it? I even installed codecs and they wouldn't run :/
