    Hiya,

    I have a 6400 Inspiron with the following specs:

    Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz
    2gb ram
    Ati X1400 Mobility

    I used to be able to play H.264 files fine when using XP Pro but since upgrading to Vista Home Premium I have the problems below.

    I'm having problems playing Hi Def H.264 files on it. I have installed CoreAVC and a couple of other codecs but the video is still 'choppy'. I thought the specs of the laptop would be ok to play these files.

    Surely the specs are good enough for 1080i H.264 files?

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Try uninstalling and reinstalling your video drivers.
