i was wondering if any 12" ibook owners (the current or one older model) have tried to run any of the h.264 HD video with the new quicktime from apples site? i know that the screen and video card isn't capable of 1080p, but i would like to be able to run 720p video on a 12" ibook if the it can handle it (at 24 fps or higher)

I've got a 14" iBook (same resolution and graphics card) and they don't run well at all, they work alright in parts, but then they just freeze up.
I have managed to get one or two working properly, but for the most part they're not really watchable.

I just tried the "Walking on the moon" movie trailer. Worked fine.....only stalls if your network is still downloading data.
