This lagging....does it lag over time? If so, does it take a long time to become apparent (eg, till half way through the episode), or is it really noticable right away? It runs no problem on our E8400 and E6600 (Intel dual core 3.0GHz and 2.4Ghz respectively), so I'll try it on our Athlon 64 3500+ (single core 2.2GHz) and see what I get.

Edit: I tried it out for a few minutes, then skipped to the middle of the episode and tried that for a few minutes.
I take it you mean the video's lagging? That's what I got. It's 1080p, so having the picture lag due to lack of processing power only makes sense. Audio's still good old 384kbps or whatever they used.Originally Posted by digitalrurouni
The 2.2GHz AMD is fine for roughly 50/50 of the time. Sometimes it'll lag behind the audio, and sometimes it'll catch up and play fine.
For reference, the 2.2GHz plays 720p video fine, and a 2~3 year old 2.4GHz Dual Core plays 1080p at roughly 35~55% total CPU usage.
