How come when I use PowerDVD 6 to play avi files, it plays it all laggy and stutterly but when I use VLC player, it plays it all smooth and fine. Is there something wrong here? I don't get how it would work fine on VLC and not on PowerDVD 6. I don't want to use VLC because it doesn't support 5.1 surround sound speakers and the sound quality on it sounds like shiet. What could be the problem? When I try playign the same AVI file on WMP10, it stutters and lags the whole time also.

PowerDVD is apparently coded by morons. WinDVD is SLIGHTLY better, but still sucks.

So what program would you advise me to use to watch avi files that support multi channel speakers?
