1080p avi acting like low specs
#1
have an avi with 1080p res and 5 mb of video and both vlc and this app cant work with it properly, only movist was capable of playin it fine. curious that dont happen with another 38 mb 1080p *.ts file i constantly watch (26 gb of video), that one plays perfect, this avi is like the computer is too old and doesnt fit hardware requirement. choppy display and sound at slow speed.
im on a hackintosh core 2 quad q 6600, 4 gb memory, xfx 8600 gt 500mb video, snow leopard all working no issue. maybe hd avi´s r too hard to handle for now?

this is the specs for the avi, mediainfo scan:

AVI's are handled by software, so any hardware video decoding that you might get normally won't apply to this file. You can try something like MKVtools (wiki) to remux it to an MKV file, so that you don't have to re-encode it. If that fails, then you probably have to re-encode it with Handbrake (wiki).

is it software procesing too slow on my equipment? no app workaround? thank for the reply.

avi is a crap video container, we can't trust it with hardware decode so decoding is handled with software decode.
you don't have enough ponies to software decode it or it's just a crap avi encode.
