MacBook Pro :: YouTube 720 And 1080 Lag?
Apr 2, 2010
So I think this has something to do with the 10.6.3 update but I'm not sure.
I use CXG to play games sometimes, and my framerates have been cut in half.
when I play videos on YouTube, 320 and 460 work fine, but an HD settings causes the video framerate to suffer awfully.
I can play DVD's fine though, popped in the Hurt Locker and I can play it full screen just fine.
Is this an Open GL thing? how can I roll back an update or figure out what's up.
Edit here is what activity monitor says when I play my Video at 1080 Safari itself seems to lock up

The maximum resolution on my brand new 13" Macbook air is 1440 x 900. The monitor I want to buy has a resolution of 1920 x 1080. Can I use this monitor with my Macbook air, and will it look OK?
Info:
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 13" screen

I saw a few videos on youtube of the previous revision models and it seemed OK.
So this will run WoW on mediumish at 1440x900? I take it if I connected it to a 1920 x 1080 display in windowed mode it would probably lag?

So I tried playing a few 720p/1080p flash videos on Youtube and Hulu in fullscreen mode and the videos seem to stutter quite a bit. Is that normal? I am using Firefox on my ultimate MBA 11". I thought the 320m gpu could at least handle HD videos.

I was looking at getting a new monitor (Dell S2209W). It's a 22" monitor with a native display of 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz. Is this resolution possible with the mac mini?

That's twice this week I've tried watching downloaded HD trailers through Quicktime and both times they've been stuttery and unwatchable.
Very annoying. Is it likely just the PowerBook or something else rotten in Denmark? Smaller trailers play fine.

So yesterday I bought a lovely 1080p LED monitor (Benq 2420HDBL) and I want to watch some HD movies through it.
The files are all ripped to .mkv and I've noticed VLC is buggy as hell (Jerky playback, lots of artifacts etc.) I know my Mac is up to the task (New 'decoding: 10 Mac pro) so it can't be that.
I saw this article that says VLC is really bad for H264: [URL]
I've done the steps labeled above, but with only very very minor success.
Are there any other players you could recommend? (Not M player 2 though, just tried that and I got HUGE burst of white noise through my high end audio monitors (luckily they have in-built limiters, if not I have no doubt I'd be deaf/looking at a very annoying repair).

Dual Processor Power Mac G5 2 GHz with 4 GB of RAM
I could have sworn that my G5 used to be able to play all levels of HD movies smoothly as anything sometime during normal Tiger usage.
Then one day, I noticed my G5 when on Tiger would stutter playing anything about 480.
I thought the upgrade to Leopard would fix this. But just today I upgraded to 10.5.3 on this G5 (I used the upgrade option on the install DVD to upgrade from Tiger) and it STILL won't play HD trailers 720 or 1080 smoothly.
is this supposed to be? Do I not have the minimum requirements to watch those kinds of resolutions anymore?
I know this machine is 4 years old now, but seriously? That seems crazy to me.
Does anyone else have this configuration and see similar or different behavior?
Information:
G5 Dual 2 Ghz
Mac OS X (10.5.3)
4 GB RAM

So i finished my first ten-minute long short film, i'm really proud of it. I wanted to share the whole thing in 1080p HD and then import it into after effects for some finishing touches. I did sharing < media sharing < 1080p hd.
1. Where did my movie go? it doesn't show up in iMovie anymore, and I found a big file over 1GB which appears to be my movie (but no way is it in 1080p, and I filmed with a sony HDR xr520v). I cant put that back into iMovie nor after effects.
2. Can I import this file into after effects cs4 and then re-export it in an equal quality?

What is the Best Value HD 1080 editing Software?
I have an intel 15" macbook pro with Tiger installed
Considering upgrading to Leopard with Ilife '09 to get the 1080 capable editing
but is there a better value alternative that will run with my current system?
I have a considerable amount of software like CS3 suite installed.
Or, Should I simply purchase a 13" that will come with Leopard and Ilife pre-installed?

I know, silly question. However, I've searched this forum and read about people having core shut down problems and how when playing any type of streaming video or media, the computer slows down. If they do slow down and over-heat... is it because of an issue that can be fixed? Or is the MBA simply not a machine to use for streaming media?

I have owned an MBA for about 6 weeks and on the whole love it.
There is a lot of talk and posts about the 'youtube' issue, but I am interested in the technical explanation.
For instance I watched a 2 hour, fairly high resolution movie in iTunes yesterday and my MBA didn't break a sweat. But after 5 minutes of youtube my fans are blowing hard.
What is so demanding about youtube? I hear it is because it is 'Flash based'. What does that really mean and why does it place such a high load on the processor?

On MBA Rev2/SSD after watching 3-4 minutes into a video, on a flat wooden desk, in the new "Watch in HD" format which is suppose to be 720p, the fans rev to 6200rpm and temp at 80C. Mind you I am still in safari and not watching YouTube's full screen mode. And recovery times for the fan to slow down even when it's back to 50C is a bit long. Is this normal behavior for a Rev2?

So I've heard a lot of people get over heating, core shut downs etc on their MacBook Airs when on youtube, well I just watched a 5 min video and my temp never got above 60c at the default fan speed and didn't have a core shut down either. Or are you guys watching youtube for hours on end before you have issues?

I want to save YouTube videos in my iTunes. I used to be able to do this selecting Command-Option-A while a YouTube video was playing. The problem now is that Safari saves the file as a webarchive file, which I am not exactly sure what that is. The webarchive file can be saved onto my MacBook but the file only opens back up in Safari.
