I downloaded a few TV episodes to watch on my computer but they won't play smoothly. There isnt huge jerkyness, but it just isn't smooth.
The only way I can get the files to play smoothly is if I play a video right after I reboot without trying to run any programs. It will play perfectly when I do this. But when I try to watch a second file right after the first, it goes back to being jerky.
What could cause this?
The only two things I can think of are RAM and the video card. I have 1GB of PC3200 ram and a 6600GT that is displaying two 2405FPW LCDs through DVI. Could having two monitors at 1920x1200 resolution be slowing down the video playback?
Btw, the file is ~350MB and 45mins long.
