I feel like I'm right on the cusp of getting it to work. I updated VLC and deleted some unused stuff off my desktop. I also close all the programs. It got better but it still lags a bit. :/
Hey what about a .mp4 file? What is the difference in that? That might have been the file extension for the Jump Festa trailer.
Also should I try redownloading the trailer?
Play the file, then run taskman.
If CPU is 100%, then there's nothing you can do. Your processor can't handle 1080p.

I had CCCP and CoreAVC and the problem really was just that my processor (1.7GHz) just couldn't handle it.
But it's not the end of the world. There 's always 720.

The Youtube HD thing is pretty nice for a webstream, actually. But there's still quality loss from the original file.
