m4v files but where did those files come from? Can you try the Disney video clip ('Earth' HD 1080p preview) I mentioned earlier since I know that it works well on my MacBook. You say you are having problems even with. Besides, YouTube is running on Adobe's Flash technology which is notorious for its poor performance. YouTube playback is going to be limited by your internet connection speed more than anything else, so I wouldn't use that as any test for HD playback. Lastly, you may have a hardware problem (DRAM/hard disk), or perhaps a problem with the video card (that last, I think, the most unlikely). If that reveals nothing then you may have to consider that you may have installed a third-party video codec or some other kext/driver that is causing problems with your video. If you don't see anything unusual given all of the above and you are still having problems in playback then I'd disconnect any peripherals from the MacBook (USB devices, network, etc.) that you may have attached and test your system again. _both_ movies simultaneously on the MacBook's built-in LCD I didn't see any obvious problems during playback (there may have been some very minor frame skips while both were playing, but nothing at all that obvious).

In this particular case I had the 1080P preview of 'Earth' (from Disney, available as a free download from Apple) running in the QuickTime Player and the movie 'Truth in 24' running in iTunes (the latter also a free download from iTunes and definitely worth getting). _really_ bad that could affect video playback.Р”Р„s an example of what should be possible I can run two HD movies (one 1080P the other 720P) at the same time and still have some idle time left on my 2GHz MacBook. You also should make certain that you aren't running very low on disk space or that you don't have a process that is constantly accessing your hard drive (like Spotlight or Time Machine). However, other than the video player and Activity Monitor itself you shouldn't see any process that is taking more than a low single-digit CPU time while you are watching your video (you can sort on the 'CPU %' to see what it taking the most time on your system).

Note (if you aren't familiar with Activity Monitor) that while Mac OS X is running there will be many processing that are active (that's normal). You may have a faceless, background application that is running even when you don't know it. Try launching Apple's Activity Monitor (under Applications/Utilities) to see if anything else is running on your system. If you have one of the previous generation white MacBooks you may not be able to play 1080P without some hiccups. I assume that you are running on a Aluminum MacBook or one of the newest white MacBooks.
