I have tried to play files from the 7D direct on my pc (core duo) and I cant do it in real time with Quicktime, VLC or Mediaplayer.

The ONLY player that is fluid is the Zoombrowser that comes in the camera pack.

Any idea of other player/s that can play fuidly the native files?

Thank you!.

Simon.
 
Solution: Windows Media

Somebody gave me the answer. Windows Media Player. I have tried and bingo. I had never thought that WM could play Quicktime movies. And it play very smooth without changing hardware.
 
I have just discovered Splash. http://www.mirillis.com/splash.html There is a free lite version . It is really awesome. Not only plays smoothly but you can click on the timeline wherever you want (after or before) and follows playing perfectly.

I have also tried the AVCHD files from my Panasonic SD-10 (tiny camera), format .mts. That files are really lousy to play on the computer (on the camera OK) and YES. The files play very smoothly.

You need new hardware, Core 2 duo or quad, and dedicated graphics card. Preferably Nvidia with 512 ram or better.

I've been having trouble with my box, but it's a AMD Quad 940 with eight gig ram, WinXP 64.

I noticed choppy footage and figured that I just need to transpose it to something that Premiere Cs4 likes better.

I get degraded playback inside Premiere CS4 and QT with all the codecs I've tried: Avid DNxHD, AVI Uncompressed, QT Photo JPEG.

I have just a micro-ATX mobo with onboard graphics. I could throw a graphics card in there - would that increase performance I'm wondering?

Cause if it would that would be much cheaper than getting an i7 core bundle which is what I've been thinking about. Or should I just invest in neoScene even though Prem CS5 is on the way? Or both?

Advice appreciated.

Oh by the way, I stumbled up on this program AviDemux which trascodes native files to XVID nicely... which is my temp fix for not being able to play them natively.
 
I've used AviDemux to re-wrap files so they can be played in my Media Player. Observe that transcoding (as de-/recompressing) will lower the image quality. Re-wrapping to MKV will only change container, but compressed video stream will be kept untouched.

As for playing native .MOV files on computer, you need speedy CPU for doing it in real time. Intel i7 is your best bet.
