TEST: Can your computer run this HD video smoothly?

[smokeyboi]

play the HD 1080p trailer only!
http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/wtc/hd/

post your specs as well


i have a 1.83 MBP with 1gig of ram and got a considerable amount of dropped frames while playing the trailer.

you would think that with dual cpu's and a x1600 (which supposedly accelerates decoding of H.264) that it should run smooth as butter....guess i was wrong.

i'm really interested in seeing how the "regular macbook's" handle the WTC HD trailer!

Runs pretty good on my Quad G5 with this slow Geforce 6600 256MB.

Some specs are in sig.

Is there any way to show FPS in Quicktime?

smokeyboi, maybe you need more RAM?

Thanks, I got ~23-25FPS which is the max on this video on my Quad G5.

24.40 on my MacBook Pro - again, as the above poster said, that's the max.

I don't really wanna know what the max fps you get. what i'm curious about is if you can run the trailer constantly at 24fps without dropping any frames.


on my mbp, frames can drop as low as 12fps on certain scenes.

I get 23-25 consistent, no dropping here.

17" MBP w/2.16GHz, 2GB Ram and 120GB 5400RPM drive.

24fps on my iMac 2.0GHz CoreDuo (2GB RAM, 256MB VRAM)

24.40 was the average

No issues here- with many other apps running at the same time, too.

hmm...maybe my MBP is acting up, but shouldn't I be able to play this trailer smoothly?

Sucker for punishment

total slideshow (1-5)fps at 1080

I don't know, but Apple's Quicktime recommendations say 2.0 GHz Intel for 1080.

same here

mine only plays for like 2 seconds, then it changes to saying (shown when movie is playing), but the movie is still playing.
well, sound and a frame jump every little bit.

 

[livingfortoday]

Yeah, on the Core Solo - it's a bit of a no-go. I get about 11 fps average, and it drops out a lot. I am running a bunch of stuff in the background though, so maybe if I quit everything I'd get better performance, but still.

 

[plinden]

I get between 0.66 fps and 18 fps, mostly around 8 fps, on my Dell D810.

 

[spencecb]

My MacBook Pro averaged 23.98 FPS, but it did drop pretty low a couple times, down to ~12 FPS. The only computer I could see that would be able to sustain a high FPS for the duration of an HD clip would be the Quad G5. I mean, christ, it has four cores at its disposal.

 

[xsedrinam]

smooth with:
23.98 fps
H264 - 720p
PBAl 15" - 1Ghz
sorry: didn't see the 1080 only....

i guess i'm not the only one who got dropped frames after all.

 

[Nar1117]

well on my super-duper fast G4 800 mhz with 768 Ram i got an amazing frame rate of 120 FPS!!!!!!









But seriously... Only like 15, dropped down to 10.

 

[Chaszmyr]

smooth 24fps on 2.7ghz G5

 

[jsw]

I'm seeing slowdowns as well. 12 fps, sometimes less, at times, but often 24 fps. And I've downloaded the movie and am playing it locally. MBP, 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM (and plenty free).

 

[Laser47]

.29-8fps
