Quicktime Choppy Playback

[Fazzl]

When i watch .avi movies in quicktime the playback isnt 100% smooth but its just fine in VLC player. How can i fix this because i want to use front-row when connected to my plasma. Thanks

Try updated codecs such as the ones in Perian: http://perian.org/

What type of video files are you trying to play back?

A lot of times I try to play different video on Quicktime and get choppy playback. Can't tell you why. So the majority of vids I play are in VLC, it's playback is perfect.

is there anything else i can do? im trying to use front row with my plasma because i cant really control vlc with my apple remote.

is it just this movie?? are there other 24 videos that are exactly the same bitrate/size that play perfectly?? or is it the whole bunch?

Its the same on my mbp. the sound is fine but it seems like the frame per second is a little lower than it should be.
