As of right now, whenever I try playing any video resolution higher than 1080p on my macbook pro 2009, whether it be via youtube or downloaded content, I get nothing but choppy video playback. I probably need to upgrade some of my computer hardware, I am just unsure of exactly which hardware would help my situation. I also want to start editing 4k video via iMovie as well so any feedback would be extremely helpful! Here is a list of my Hardware components..
Processor: 2.26 ghz intel core 2 duo
Memory: 8gb
Starup disk: Mac HD
Graphics: NVIDIA GEforce 9400m 256 MB
