Default We should encode in this quality VUK

http://hdshowcase.microsoft.com/ms/Robotica_720.exe - 16 MB file

You'll need at least a 2 GHz to play that well.

Once you watch that, check out these:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...tShowcase.aspx

Get the 720p ones unless you run at least 1600x1200 as the 1080p ones will cause excess load shrinking them to display.

The 1080p ones are almost 3.5x the res of a DVD. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

LOL....That would be 2.7 GB for a hour show, and 1.35 GB for a halfhour show.

A bit much I think.

More likely your CPU. You need at least a 2 GHz and even that is a little low. It also requires 32 MB minimum.
