I just borrowed the imax, Magic of Flight 1080i dvd and put it in my pc to play through my pc out on my hdtv. It's sharp as hell but whenever there is anything complex to render like the flock of bids or the mountainous ground under the jet filling a lot of the screen, my video and audio stutters annoyingly. With the flock of birds, the time playing is about equal to the time spent on pause. Whenever anyyhing is moving fastl ike when you are in the nosecam of the jet, it stutters too, like a slideshow.

I have a Ati Radeon 9800xt with a dvi to component converter outputting to a 1080i rear projection tv.
2.4ghz 256k amd64(3300+)
1gbram
not nearly full hdd so it should be fine straming off that.

hmm, could be a couple things. first, id check your system performance when you are running the dvd. when the action starts, your cpu time and memory used should go up dramatically. see how far your cpu measurement goes up. im thinking thats your problem.

EDIT: if your cpu doesnt top out, and your ram doesnt drop waaaay down, look at your dvd drive.
