I know I know...

all flaming aside (it can insue AFTER I get it fixed! )

It started with watching that staa00pid Xfreek trailer.. oh.. did I say AFTER I got an answer? ..er.. sorry...

anyways.. the d/l is stuttering and not at all running smooth. Any ideas? I have Qt 7.something..er..7.0.4 I haver a gig of mem on a 1800+ and a Shuttle mobo. My vid is a 6600GT with 128 DDR3 oh.. XP Pro.

thoughts?

Use quicktime alternative to download the trailer to your hard drive instead. Or view a smaller trailer that your computer can handle, the HD 1080p version is actually 120 MB to download and the resolution on it is 1920x816. That is a lot to download, and it is likely to be pretty rough on your CPU which is actually starting to get pretty weak for decoding recent types of video. My Athlon at 2.4 GHz takes as much as 80% CPU use to decode a 1024x576 H.264 encode. An 1800+ would choke on a encode like that.

Thats what I used to download the teaser to my hard drive. Oh, the start of the teaser intentionally studders slightly for the first few seconds.

VLC Media player will play almost anything without codecs also.

Make sure your quicktime settings are correct for your network. most times I think it's set to 56K.

That was it Krom. I had picked the uberhuge version and hadn't realized it. 1 prop for Qt is that they managed to figure out what Compression is. The files are considerably SMALLER than they were.

Thanks guys.
