[dinaluvsApple]

playing 1080p is one of the few times, ill startup vista on boot camp for.

windows just does it so much better.


im using a 2.4alubook with 4gb ram.

my macbook plays 1080p quite fine on VLC and quicktime. No stuttering whatsoever. Tested was dark knight 1080p.

Im running the VLC latest version. 1080p on apple trailers work just fine too.

It worked well when I was on 2GB RAM too.

Try Wall-E. Some people have problems with it.

I use VLC and plex, in plex it works better but still takes all the CPU.

Would you go for the 2.4?

Thanks

wall-e works fine in 1080p. No skipping for me. I'm stumped.

I scanned through Plex's wiki and forums and didn't see an answer to my question, can you stream content through Plex to a 360? If so, how is the quality? If not, what can stream HD content to the 360 (other than connect360, I'm looking for freeware)? Thanks for helping a newb!

The issue is software. Both Quicktime and VLC are pretty anemic playback apps. Plex is the way to go.

And btw - WALL-E Blu-ray rip plays fine on my 2 gHz Mini with DTS 5.1 audio.

Do Plex and Boxee handle x264 mkvs the same way?

I like using Boxee and it plays everything, but if Plex is better I would use that,
