Thanks for the reply John.
I tried playing with the preview settings, but it didn’t seem to have any effect. Can you recommend any free codecs for this use?
[John-Michael Seng-Wheeler] “Why are you rendering preview files? I have no trouble with playback on my 5 year old MBP, though admittedly I do have an SSD installed in it.”
The ability to playback live seems to vary greatly.
I am starting to worry that I have hardware or software issues.
I am on a 5 months old Thinkpad W530 – QuadroK2000M 2GB with 32GB DDR3 and 2x 256SSD running CS6 “hacked” for CUDA support.
I assume there must be a general thread here dealing with benchmarking and such? Maybe even a benchmark project for download?
My OS came pre-installed from a “student-discount-retailer” in germany and you never know how they might have bloated the OS install.
Are there any codec packs that one should stay away from? It suddenly occurs to me that I installed the CCCP codec pack a few months back in a white-night anime frenzy 🙂
Last thing, a month ago some idiot sat on my laptop for almost 30min before I took notice and whereas the machine seems fine upon inspection, I am left with the nagging worry of bad connections.
I assume however, that problems such as the ones I am having wouldn’t likely be related to hardware issues?
Meh, I am starting to spend WAAY more time on troubleshooting than on production 🙁
