i have had vista for a while now and i noticed that itunes stutters when i try to playback video clips. i.e. music videos or movies. is this a problem that alot of user encounter? or is it something just with me. any help would be greatly appreciated

Try opening the movies in QuickTime.

All the time - or just at the beginning for a few seconds?
-
its all the time and it puts off the sound to the visuals so it looks like a badly pirated version. lol but i know for damn sure that my hardware is good enough for it.

Sorry to say that iTunes and Vista doesn't play together well. Mine doesn't install at all. I use Quicktime Alternative to play Quicktime. Is these an example of Gates vs Jobs?
-
Try upgrading to the newest iTunes (7.2) my videos don't stutter in it like they did the previous versions. If that doesn't work you can always try opening the videos in Quicktime, my videos never stuttered in that like they did in iTunes.

I am using iTunes 7.2 - don't use it to play videos though - well Quicktime runs fine but iTunes is a bit buggy at times.
-
ok i downloaded 7.4 and it still sutters. i have no idea what to do. its seems i wasted all that money on those files cause i cant even watch them on my computer. they work fine on my ipod but the screen is so small. anymore suggestions?

Video clips and not just music? This is quite new to me. My problem all but disappeared after Dell sent me that free Sigma High definition codec thing for my Vostro 1400.
*shrugs* -
nah my music doesnt lag at all. its just video clips and movies ect.

If you go Edit -> Preferences -> Playback tab, change "Play Music and TV Shows" and "Play Music Videos" to "full screen" and then they will run smoothly.
I am having the same problem you are with choppy video playback. My processor is at 100% and it is doing less than 1 FPS. That is only in windowed mode and I have no idea why. -
ahh its still doing it even after chaz's suggestion. i really dont know what else to do. maybe it has to do with me having raid 0. im gonna try and talk to someone from apple i guess. i am out of ideas.
