    Hi guys,

    I've got a F8sv with an nVidia 8600GT graphics card, but I can't play HD movies! I get really choppy video and the audio is pretty crap too. Can anyone help? I'm using the factory drivers now, I was using modded infs before and they gave me the same result.

    What type of movie-file are you watching, in what media-player, using what codec (disregard the last piece if you're using VLC).

    Also, what CPU do you have?

    That could be a problem, yah. Just a note: vlc is horrible with mkv files. Try CCCP ( www.cccp-project.net).
