HD Playback on Catalyst

[samsc]

It will be running it on a mac book pro.. I have a 2ghz intel and 2 gigs ram.. Not sure what hard drive I am going to get yet though.

I downloaded one of the ones off of apples site in their gallery, and at first in the standard codec it would force close cat every time I scanned for the file. But I changed it to the photojpeg 50% and it ran fine. It ran at 25fps just off my laptop hd. It would just be a 5 minute HD clip, unknown resolution other then being told "it is in high definition". I am not planning on running any other effects other then positioning it on the screen properly.

My other question is when I play a movie, and have the volume all the way up, where does the audio go? Is there a place I set it to the destination? It is not coming out the speakers/headphone port and I can't find where to select that.

apple internet codecs are designed for internet downloads and are for low bandwidth use. sure they play - but they arent designed for internet use.
Every codec has a specific use.
h264 h263 are for internet movies or conferencing.

After 4 years of continuous performance testing - photojpeg and dv codecs are still the best. 'Photo' does NOT mean its just for photos.
If something worked better i would say so.

Audio is routed via the sound preferences - out the default sound output.
