So the wife and I purchased a GPH4 black edition, sweet cam by the way, and I'm having issues playing the video on my pc. I have done a good hour or so of googling and It seem like the most common solve is just to buy a better pc. I have a hard time believing that my pc needs an upgrade to run these videos, mostly because our computers are pretty much the same and she runs them no prob, all the way to 4k 30fps, and i cant get 1080p 30fps to not stutter...

My PC:
Asus GA-970A-DS3 Rev. 3.0
AMD 6 Core FX-6100 3.3G Black edition
Asus Radeon 6850
G.Skill Sniper F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR DDR3-1866 PC3-14900 4096MB x 2 CL9-10-9-28
SSD 240g Samsung Evo

Her PC:
MSI 770-G45 AM3 v2.1
AMD Phenom II X4 B55 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.3GHz
Asus Radeon 6850
Same Speed/Size Ram but patriot I forget which but that shouldn't matter...
2 Velociraptors 74g in raid


I've tried swapping monitors, installing divx, CCCP, divx player actually made a diff, the stuttering was not as bad, but still stuttering. After that I switched back to win 7 from 8 and that also made a diff, the stutter was more consistent but still there. She was always on win 7. I've also tried changing up the number of cores and such in the bios, going from optimized defaults to my regular tweaking, taking it up to 3.8gigs with no silly power savings on. With no change, what gives? any ideas? I'm putting this in the CPU category because that should be the main factor...

I doubt its the cpu so I moved it to systems.
Please tell us where the video is located when you tried to play it. If its on your harddrive, which one do you have and how full is it?
Have you tried copying it to your ssd?

thanks for moving this to the appropriate cat, Yes I have played it from the SSD, initially i moved it from her HDD to the SSD via thumbdrive and i thought maybe the file was corrupted somehow, so i simply recorded another video and moved it directly from the camera to the SSD and no difference, it played fine from her secondary HDD which is only 72,000rpm, not sure on the exact model but its pretty old

So i took a few vids this morning to see where exactly the playback becomes a problem:
This is using windows 7 with DivX, CCP, and VLC installed
Windows media player:
2.7k@48FPS No image (black) but with audio
1440@80FPS No image (black) but with audio
1080S@60FPS Looks great, but there is a frame skipped periodic maybe every 3 seconds
1080@120FPS Audio and video are completely out of sync, sometimes it stalls, lots of explosion of colors.

VLC:
2.7@48FPS Plays, Pretty jerky though
1440@80FPS Plays, Even more jerky than 2.7 and some color explosion some stalling
1080S@60FPS Playback is jerky
1080@120FPS Audio and video are completely out of sync, sometimes it stalls, Lots of explosion of colors.

and the same videos played on her computer look great, the 1080@120FPS looks amazing... i think it just likes her better...

You have the latest motherbd bios, chipset drivers, & GPU drivers?

Also, your computers might be close enough where you could swap HDD's and boot her pc with your drive and see if the problems is still there. That would isolate a hardware issue (problem gone) or a software one (problem still there). I do recommend that you make a backup of your hdd and have her soundcard & nic drivers available.
