Slow Video Games & Fullscreen In-Computer Video Files

I have a HP p6310f Desktop with Windows 7. It's only a little more than a year old. I have had no problems with it before; but now I am having slight issues.
Whenever I pull up a PC game with 3d graphics (even if I have the game set on the lowest definition settings), I get a really slow framerate, which makes the game pretty much un-playable.
Also when I try to pull up a video saved on my machine in full screen on Windows Media Player, the video slows waaay down and the audio and video don'y match. However, this doesn't happen with DVDs.
I think I have a great graphics card and plenty of RAM, so i don't really understand why this is happening. I defragment my computer once a week, and I have more than half of my memory free. I'm paranoid that something is wrong with my computer, and would be really grateful if someone could help me out.

Hi,
If you don't have any restore points to go back to then someone has tampered with your PC. The Windows restore point process is set active by default.
Backup your data to external media (usb drive) and then use the HP Recovery Disks to bring your PC back to factory fresh condition. If your PC has never been connected to the internet then it's missing a lot of critical and highly recommended updates. Review these HP updates and once you do get connected to the internet then you will have many Microsoft updates.
Off the cuff I would start with a video driver update and then a bios update.
Another looming issue in the background is that the motherboard in your PC has a bad history.

Slow video files.

I surf the web with both Safari or Firefox and in both cases I am consistently getting slow or choppy playback of files from 'Youtube' and other such sites, even when I let them completely load before I attempt playback, what can I do to improve playback performance?
Also while I am on the topic of playback why cant I play a HD file back? Is it purely the age of my system? (Tiger on an old G4)
One more thing do I need a newer system to playback 720p files.I am new to understanding video playback and all of it's associated intricacies, so please dumb it down for me.
Thanking you all in advance

One big reason why you can't playback HD videos is...your computer is under powered to play these types of movie. My computer is the same way. I can't playback 720p videos.
As for youTube, same thing. youTube wrappers the h.264 video in a FLV container (Flash Video). The Flash container in itself take up a lot of CPU resources to playback even the simplest and smallest video.
Here's are the playback specs for h.264 HD videos.

To play back the same video in a FLV wrapper you can add about 30-50% to the above video specs.

My i7 sandy bridge with optibay harddrive is running slow in diablo 3 in low setting. Before I can run ultra settings on Starcraft. It lags now even I run log in sc2!!! It gets slower and slower in game that is like slow motion!!! Computer gets hot.

Hi everyone, I been noticing my MacBook pro getting very slow in games like diablo 3 and Starcraft. This MacBook pro was bought a year ago. It is running i7 sandy bridge with a 128 Ssd. I did install optibay with a monetux xt hard drive in it.
It could run ultra setting on Starcraft no problem and is very smooth when I first got it. Lately I got diablo 3, and it gets very slow. I had to change all the graphics setting to low. It is not slow in the beginning, but it gets very slow after a while. It is like slow motion!!! Even when is low, it is still very laggy in game. I tried to repair the disk and clean up the laptop with onyx and still doing the same thing. I even try to reboot when is slow, but same thing after I reboot. I guess the MBP still hot.
Also I am running in lion!

If it's a 13" MBP you don't have the more powerful dedicated graphics and there is nothing you can do but be mad at Apple for deceiving you that the 13" MacBook Pro was capable of extreme graphics.
Only the 15" and 17" have the more powerful dedicated graphics in addition to the CPU graphics.
Mac video card performance

Quicklookd slowing down Leopard with video files

For some reason whenever I'm trying to open a folder with video files, add a video to a project or just open a video, I get the spinning beachball for quite a while before anything happens. This makes using iDVD impossible, Toast almost unbearable and general use of my mac quite annoying. Looking at processes on istat, quicklookd seems to be using 70-80% of the processor, sometimes higher. I could understand if I were using a slow computer but this is on my iMac Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz. The files tend to be .avi - either xvid or divx if that's helpful.
Would be enormously grateful for any advice. Thanks.

No-one?

I need a wireless option for older Mac desktop is there a good card or adapter I want to transfer hd video files over the internet. using a hotspot and wireless card in computer, any recommendations

Is there a good card I can put in the computer, and use with a hotspot? Any experience with uploading HD video files this way. DSL hard wired connection is too slow

As for the people on eBay, my only beef with them is that it has turned into a money hungry store instead of an auction place to pick things up inexpensively, like it used to be.
Agreed.
There is one, in particular, who really puts a dear price on his flashed cards.
Not a friend to the Mac community.
Of course, others see his prices, and say "Well, if he can, then so can I".....
By the way, I have been noticing the same cards, only for PC for around $30-$40, which lead me to believe that those are the ones they are "flashing". Sorry if that's incorrect.
It's OK.
I watch for the prime cards all the time.
Radeon 9800 Pro and XT PC cards have increased to the $50-$70 range.
Pros used to be $20-$30, XTs $30-$60.
Some guys here in Japan are trying to get $100 for Radeon 9800 Pro cards- vanilla PC versions.
The glut in Mac options has inflated the flashable PC card market dramatically.....
The Mac Edition Pro retailed for $200+.
$100 isn't bad for that card flashed to Mac... the XT gets $20-$50 more.
Try telling a PC guy that a Radeon 9800 is a $100 card..... the old boys laugh!
Adding to this is the recent influx of "new" Mac users, PC modders/users buying cheap, used G4's, and the demand for upgrades has increased as supply decreased.
If you see any rev 5.70 Geforce 7800 GS AGP cards, or any FireGl (Radeon) X800XT (unflashed) cards for less than $130, amazing is all that I have to say.
$30-$40, and I'll take 20 of each- cash!
Hmm, same goes for Geforce 6800 Ultra's......
I am just a little (or a lot) frustrated with Apple and Apple vendors lately. For obvious and not so obvious reasons. Please accept my apologies as I go through this phase.
We all have our days, and our reasons. At least, I know I do......
Apology warmly accepted!
Count me as frustrated, as well.
The new machines sure look nice, but when I tally up the price of the software that I own, which can't be run on Intel or 10.6x Macs, my room full of G4's look a lot nicer.

I need to get some video files onto my iphone from a computer that does not have my itunes library on it

Currently I am away from home, and using a computer that does not have my main itunes library on it. I do, however, have some video files on this computer that I would like to place onto my phone for the drive home tomorrow. Unfortunately, It seems there is no way to do this without completely wiping my iPhone and replacing it with this computers empty library, as the "manage content manually" feature apparently requires me to do this. Is there any way to just add some mp4s to my iphone without erasing all of its data?.

On a Windows PC plugging in your phone will invoke the Autoplay dialog which also gives some options
But only if iTunes is installed on the computer and is paired as a trusted device. Which the OP does not want to do.

I have a video that I created for my daughter's first birthday. The hard drive on my computer crashed and I lost the video file. The only place I have it is on my iPod Classic. How can I transfer the video from my iPod to my new hard drive?

You are in luck, Refer to this recent post by tt2, on recovering media using 3rd Party Software.
He has made a comprehensive list, browse through them and decide which suits your requirements.

Qosmio G20-139 slow video playback sound ok

Hi,
I no longer seem to be able to play video files, play DVDs, or watch TV as the playback is in slow motion but sound is ok except on the TV.
Have tried to uninstall Graphics driver but it won't let me saying something to the effect of unable to uninstall as required to boot.
Also looking into uninstalling /reinstalling Video driver but can't find what it is. Is it the same as the Graphics driver (NVIDIA Go Geforce 6600)?
This all started (i think) when i tried to use a netgear router insatllation CD but stopped it half way even though it said not to... Then whole system went incredibly slow and crashed a lot for a while (even Word, Excel and Powerpoint) but think some updates have sorted that out.. but it still doesn't seem to be able to handle too much going on at once like before... plus some site heavily using javascript have also gone ridiculously slow.
Besides using product restore CD as not to hand as moved to diff country... Any suggestions please????
OS: Window XP MCE
Regards,
Angela

The display driver and the graphic driver is the same ;) some people call it display driver and some people say graphic driver
Im not quite sure why you are not able to watch movie files properly but possibly you would need some kind of codex.
The codec can be downloaded from different pages and many packages contains different codex.
Personally Im using N K-Lite Mega Codec Pack because it contains most necessary codecs.
I think its worth a try to install it!
Furthermore I recommend cleaning the OS using the CCLeaner its free tool and I had a good experience with it

NOT ABLE TO IMPORT MUSIC AND VIDEO FILES FROM IPOD TO COMPUTER/ITUNES LIBRARY !!!!

Hi.... I am having IPod Nano 5th Generation. I can access music and video files (that are stored in Ipod memory) in Ipod. But when I connect the ipod to computer, I am not able to access/import these music and video files through computer. Also, I am not able to see any folders like DCIM, Contacts, etc... in the memory of IPod. Can any body help me out... ?

Search it up on google.com. There's a lot of apps that will help you do this. Check out this one:

I tried the import software (trial version) and it was fine but I didn't want to pay for software. You can authorize up to 5 computers in the house to access your iTunes music and other iTunes purchases. Open iTunes, you can go under Store and select Authoize this computer.
Good luck!

How to copy an Excel, Word, music or video file from my Windows computer to iphone 4s?

I am using my new iphone 4s for 2 weeks now. I am not able to copy my favourite old music and video files and some useful Excel, Word and Pdf files from my Sony Vaio. Why doesn't it allow for copy paste when it is connected to my laptop by USB cable? Moreover it doesn't accept Bluetooth connection from my computer as well. Then I tried emailing the file, but it doesn't download the file, instead makes a link in the homescreen and for opening the file, I have to connect to the inernet.
I don't know what is happening with this phone. These are the basic things which a user wants in any phone. If it is not allowing for these things despite all that hypes and fame sorrounding it, it is a pretty useless thing. So is there any option to copy the files onto it? Thank you in advance.

Something doesnt quite sound right here, firstly an iPhone isnt a media storage device so you cant simply move files to it, you need to use an App such as Documentd to Go or cloud storage such as Drop Box or Sky drive to store the documents then you will be able to View them from your phone.
Emailing them is another option and this works fine for all the people i know, for pdf, excel, word and txt documents and most common files but again this is view only.
Apple have their our apps, Pages, Numbers etc which also uses the cloud to store the documents which can then be accessed from any ios device or mac etc.
Finally as mentioned above, music and video's are managed through iTunes, using Apple products means you need to use the tools offerred by Apple to get best use of the device, thats just the way it is with Apple.

I can't get audio or video files into iTunes from my computer. Please help!

Using Windows 7: My wife and I have seperate iTune accounts in our respective computer profiles. In my profile and iTune account, everything works fine. In my wife's account, she's always being asked to sign into iTunes as an administrator. Also, her account will not allow her to transfer music or video files into iTunes by drag and drop. If I click on "Add File to Library" or "Add Folder To Library", It will add the file but double it in the process so there are two of everything. And to make matters worse, when iTunes open in her profile, it changes the color of the Windows theme. Someone PLEASE help me. Thank you.

Am I correct in saying that the file is on your computer? Is it in a format that iTunes recognises?
If so, open iTunes, click on the small icon in the top left of the iTunes window and select Add File to Library. Navigate to the folder where the file is located and select it, click on Open. The song is now in your Library, but don't forget that the song's title, artist etc. will reflect the information within the file. So if the file did not have a song title or artist, it will appear in your iTunes as something like "Track 01", by "Unknown Artist".

How do I get Video files from my computer to my Ipod? Help Please, Urgent!

How do I get video files that I already have on my computer into Itunes and onto my Ipod???

Assuming the video files are in the correct format for iPod, all you need to do is add them to your iTunes library then sync the iPod. Under the file menu in iTunes is an option the add a file or folder to the library.

I have .VRO video files on computer originally recorded on DVD RAM cam. HOw do I import and edit these as they don't appear supported.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
There are numerous converters online to convert the .VRO files into .VOB or MP4 or other which should be supported by Premiere Elements.
Maybe explore the free MPEG Streamclip for the conversion
