Help with TG3 and playback in PMB please

Hi there - probably a dumb question but anyway - trying out my new TG3 and watching HD video back in Picture Motion Browser is not looking good - stutters all the time.

Am I doing something wrong - I've imported the video to the PC before playing it.

Can anyone help please

Rob

Sounds like your PC is not powerful enough to play the files.

I'm very suprised at the power needed just to play the files let alone edit them.

I reckon you need at least 1.8ghz core 2 duo - just to play them.

Thanks for the reply - that's a surprise - its not a bad PC:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 3800+ with 2Gb RAM and a Geforce 8800 GTX - thought that should be enough

Yes it should - what is your CPU usage when playing

If you dont know how to find out - right click on your window bar at the bottom where the start menu is - then click task manager and click performance tab

You're right - that seems to be the problem - CPU usage is up at almost 100% - thanks - better close a few things down!
