When I want to watch the videos of the ContourHD 1080p it seems that my laptop ist too slow. The videos play for some few seconds - but noticeable slower than original and then it seems it switches to the picture which should come at this time. And so forth. This happens with Quicktime and VLC.
My Specs are: Dell Precision, M6300. Core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.20 GHz. 4 GB RAM. Windows Vista 32 Bit. Nvidia Quadro FX 1600M - I assume with 512 MB memory.
Same happens on a new laptop of a friend - I do not have the specs.
Quicktime is updated. Is this a normal behavior? Strange thing is, that the downloaded sample of the 1080p base jump runs smoothly.
Could other codecs help?
they might help, ive got ffdshow and xvid installed on my lap top and they play fine and the specs on it are lower than yours, so it might be worth a try!
Try this codec it was posted.

There is a free oen somewhere i need to search again.
Are you playing back off an SD card or have you copied the files to your hard drive?
What does windows task manager (ctrl+shift+escap) show for CPU usage & Page Fault Delta? Click on the process tabs column headings to sort and view for all users...
Thanks for the tips.
ffdshow and xvid is already installed.
I've played the videos from internal card reader and USB hard disk. Now I have tried it from internal HDD. Same effect. CPU usage of quicktime is about 50%. All CPU usage between 60 and 70%. Page fault delta is 1000 to 1500. There is another tool in windows which shows detailed performance information (I just have the german name). This says 50 to 500 page faults per minute.
I've updated VLC. Same problem.
I'm currently updating my NVIDIA drivers. I tried CoreAVC as suggested in the thread mentioned by kanadianiceman. But they didn't send me an email with the access to the trail version :(
