Not sure if this is hardware or software, so I will start out posting here.

When I go to the Apple QT trailer site, click on a 1080p trailer, let if fully load before playing, then play it, I notice after pausing and replaying, it becomes choppy and sort of skips.

If this the nature of "streaming" even though I dont' play it is fully downloaded, or is could this be something else?

Thanks,

i would assume...if left alone 1080p trailers look fine on my machine when loaded, played, and left alone during the entirety.
NOW YOU SEE ME! 2.4 MBP and 2.0 MBP (running ubuntu)

hey iREZ,
Could you test something for me on your CD?

Click on any 1080p trailer, let it fully download, play it and several times during playback, pause it for 5 seconds or so and see what happens?

I noticed it on every 1080p trailer, but it's only when streaming... I have QT Pro and when I dowload the full trailer to my HD, I am pretty sure I did not notice this...

I have forgotten and my 20 imac CD is in the shop due to the screen not powering on...

Thanks.
