Video playback issues

[Abaddon75]

I'm using a 15" 2.33 GHz Intel Core Duo Macbook Pro, with 3GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM, with Snow Leopard. Western Digital 320GB 7200 drive.

I've recently been having video playback issues, starting within Final Cut Pro. The clip will play fine at first but then stutter and freeze on and off. I have to constantly stop and play to get through it. And now I'm having similar issues while playing HD clips with Quicktime.

Any ideas?

I am having the same problem with quicktime 10 lately as well on my late 2008 uni 15" MBP with snow leopard. The video will freeze every couple of seconds of play, on and off. Using VLC is fine.

It's really annoying. I'm planning on getting a new Mac Pro within the near future, but I would still like to be able to play stuff on the Macbook.
