Hello, I've just installed XBMC on my new laptop, and the video playback is terrible for mp4's, same movie loaded in AVI seems to work just fine, however, when the mp4 of the movie was loaded, both the audio and video seemed to start acting up, video is lagging and sluggish while the audio plays a few snippets every few seconds and otherwise is blank and mute.
I'm not entirely sure if this problem is related to Windows 7, I have a different computer with Windows 7 OS and XBMC runs perfectly on that machine.
My laptop specifications are:
AMD Phenom II x4
ATI Mobility Radeon 5470 HD w/ 1GB DDR3 Dedicated memory
6 GB DDR3
I have already tried to play these files in other video players and they work fine, as well as on my other machines, running Win XP and Win 7 OS.
I have also tried to play around with the video rendering methods as well as turn off automatic settings for my graphics card such as de-interlacing, none of which made a difference.
Quite honestly, i don't know if it is the HD or the ATI graphics card that is creating this problem, please let me know if anyone has experienced this problem before.
I just wanna know if there is a simpler solution than converting all of my videos to AVI.
