playing one movie at 25fps only needs 25 transactions per secondOriginally Posted by RobF
playing 4 movies at 25fps needs 100 transactions per second.
the disc is a mechanical device it takes time to move the head to get the next frame.
so no- 1 movie at 12mb/s is not at all the same as 4 movies at 25fps.
higher data rate movies - have their own set of problems.
different sub-systems in the computer get overloaded.
