Obviously you all have messed with the wmvHD showcase, but try the new clips. The Striker and Alexander not only looked REALLY REALLY good, but brought my PC to a crawl as well:( and it can play the older 1080p clips:(


2500+@3200
512ram
WD 120GB se
1600x1200 w/ 9800pro
every process off so 2% cpu util.


I just downloaded the doom3 demo so I guess I'll have to prepare for the worst tommorow:(

Hey, if you turn Fast Writes on you get better performance, smoother playback, and likely no dropped frames. :)

That zoom player pro wmv works great. I'm running the 1080p stuff maximized at 1600x1200 on a p4 2.8ghz and radeon mobility 9000 with 512mb ram.

my laptop played striker at 1080p, full screen at 1600x1200, in Windows Media Player, while defraging a hard drive and running bittorrents and outlook, without dropping frames. oh yeah and the laptop is a year old.
