stuttering video playback - HD problem?

""Any suggestion?""

Yeah, there is one. How about telling what OS and software you are using to "play video file" and what kind of "video file" it is?

..this is very useful and helpful place for information...

I'm running win2k and media player 7.
Problem occurs when I play any avi, mpg files.

The bare minimum requirements to play DivX files is a PII 450. This is with the lowest settings across the board on your computer. Most likely, you ahve settings at somewhat higher quality settings. That could be the problem. In any case, try defragging your hard drive to make it go a bit better.

Your files might be corrupted(distorted/partially downloaded) as well. Check your files on another computer.
