Choppy Video Playback

[ikix]

I have a new computer and many of the videos are somewhat choppy, but only in fulscreen (well noticeable atleast).

The new computer is running vista x64, i am using the latest version of winamp to play the videos and i have installed the vista codecs v4.70

My specs are as follow:
CPU - Q6600 Overclocked to 3.0GHz
RAM - 4GB Corsair XMS2 800MHz
GPU - Gigabyte HD 4870 512MB
Monitor - Dell 2009WFP
Mobo - Abit IX38 Quad-GT

Hope you guys can give some feedback on this, cheers.

Have you tried VLC just to compare. It will at least rule out winamp.

Hi try VLC player,SM player etc.It sounds like a codec issue.

It still seems like it wil vlc, what codecs do you guys use/should i use

Depending on what you are trying to playback, if it's compressed media try the Combined Community Codec Pack. The pack contains many of the popular codecs as well as media player classic and zoom player.

If it's DVD/Blu-Ray playback then the above won't help you (I don't think).

CCCP is a good codec pack for Vista. Another vote for trying it with MPC.
