I formatted my 17" MBP a week ago, reinstalled OS X with minimal stuff to save as much disk space as possible. I downloaded a 1080p quicktime trailer today and its just too choppy to watch. I thought that something might be wrong with the video so I tried to play a previously downloaded video that I have saved from before, same thing. I was able to play 1080p quicktime trailers just fine before I formatted.
Did I do something wrong?

BTW, I have 2GB ram and I am trying to run the videos while the MBP is plugged in and settings set to better performance, still no dice. Also, I am up to date as far as updates goes.
