1080p movies are to heavy for my PC?

[fussgen]

when i play 1080p movies on my PC it has low FPS and many lost frames, you can also notice a lot of jumps.

my graphics card is 7600GT, my processor is C2D E6300 (1.86Ghz).

i'm using Windows 7 64 Bit RC, but the problem was also on Vista 32...

i'm using VLC Media Player and Windows Media Player.

All you need is a multithreaded h.264 decoder: ffdshow mt, CoreAVC pro, MPCHC.

jagabo forgot to mention the free H264 decoder from DivX.

[jagabo]

Ah, yes. Divx's h.264 decoder is actually the most efficient.

how can i configure VLC to use my own codecs ?

VLC pretty much insists on using it's own codecs. Try using MPCHC instead.

So, i have to use another player, with one of this 4 mt codecs?

i forgot to mention that 720p movies are playing correctly.

Personaly I use Win7 64 bit
It supports things like deep colour which xp and vista dosnt and is far better at High def
I like things like Klite codec pack. VLC has a bad tendacy to stuff up and confuse my computer
Keep things simple just use Klite with Mediaplayer Homecinima which is free and better than anything i have payed for.
Hint uninstall VLC and anything else you may have first

1080p takes more CPU power than 720p (at the same frame rate).

VLC uses only its internal decoders so there's nothing you can to to fix that.

If you install ffdshow mt, Divx7, or CoreAVC Pro WMP will use that h.264 decoder and you should get smooth playback of 1080p.

MPCHC has its own internal multithreaded h.264 decoder. You can elect to use an installed DirectShow decoder instead if you want. If your graphics card has hardware h.264 decoding (your 76000 GT doesn't) you can elect to use that too.

Your CPU is too weak. To handle 1080p, overclock your Core2 Duo to 2.5 GHz or buy a Core2 Quad.

[jagabo]

A C2D E6300 will have no problems playing a 1080p24 or 1080p30 h.264 video as long as a multithreaded h.264 decoder is used.

[creamyhorror]

Ah, yes. Divx's h.264 decoder is actually the most efficient.

What? Even better than CoreAVC? I hadn't heard about this

Yes it's better (faster)

That GFX card and CPU combination should be enough to play H264/1080p smoothly when using DXVA

Check this site how to set this up correctly:
Watching h.264 videos using DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA)

Even with a simple NVidea 6100xl card which only supported basic DXVA (scaling,deinterlacing) I was able to play h264/1080p with a old P4 3,2 smoothly.

I thought h.264 decoding started with the Nvidia 8000 series. Ah, the 7600 GT has some h.264 decoding but doesn't support IDCT and CAVLC/CABAC (which started with the 8000 series):

http://www.nvidia.com/docs/CP/11036/PureVideo_Product_Comparison.pdf

It's worth a try. In MPCHC go to View -> Option -> Internal Filters -> Transform Filters and enable H264/AVC (DXVA). Exit the program then restart it.

As said, you don't need to have a GFX card with full H264 decoding abilities to take advantage of the hardware acceleration features.
At the moment I am using here a GeForce 7300, using the DXVA features of that "simple" card will reduce the CPU load immensly when playing HD files or watching live HD TV with my DVB-C card.

[fussgen]

now it's all good !

first of all, i installed the CoreAVC, and then it was much better while i was watching the movie on Windows Media Player.
VLC still couldn't handle the movie because there was no change for it.

after my OC (C2D E6300 1.86Ghz @ 2.33Ghz), even the VLC played the movie smoothly.

Interesting. I'm already invested in CoreAVC, but I'll keep that in mind. (CoreAVC's CUDA decoding got me to buy two 8400GSs )
