what are the basic requirements for 1080p file to play smoothly on laptops?
i have laptop where 1080p files are sluggish
specs are

amd turion dual core processor
ram-2gb ddr2
graphics - 256mb nvidia 7600gs
resolution supported-1440x900
windows 7 ultimate
i tried mkv files which are not playing well
i played .m2ts files through powerdvd which works fine like ps3team releases in full 1080p

bump............

I think it is good enough.
Did you try installing new codecs?

you should use media player classic & install a codecs pack. Then you will be able to play it smoothly. Your specs are adequate to play 1080

dude try to play with KM Player.I Never faced this kind of problem. With this player you can easily play your hd media files in your laptop as well as desktop.

Try VLC player,it have option transfer all work from cpu to gpu. Good luck.

try man nd u will get it
