I have a 3 year old, 2.16 GHz Macbook with 3 GB of RAM. I've never had any problem viewing HD videos, whether it's full HD videos and movies on my HDD to streaming HDD off various websites.
However, viewing the HD videos that I record when I hold my iPhone 4 in landscape upside down are bugged.
If I hold my iPhone 4 with the volume buttons facing upwards, once that video is synced to my Macbook, it skips a lot in Quicktime at full resolution. If I shrink the video player size down,the skips lessen until it's the size of an iPhone then there's no skips. Enlarge it back up, it skips again.
What gives?
To compare, it plays perfectly fine in QuickLook, and in iMovie '09.
Also, it plays fine in VLC Player, except that the video is upside down. I asked VLC developers about this and they said that can be fixed with a VLC update, that the rotation flip of the iPhone 4 hardware is different from what they've seen.
They also said that they think I have problems with my Quicktime videos when I hold the iPhone that specific way because Quicktime needs to process not only the HD but also the flipping of the screen, which is too much for my Macbook.
If I send the file to a friend with a stronger Mac, he views it fine in Quicktime.
Anyone else experience this?
