[Solved] Problem playing 1080p videos

Hi, I have some HD 1080p videos in M2TS format. The videos are 4 GB in size each. When I try to play the videos, it takes up almost 100% of my CPU. After a minute or so of playing, the video and audio don’t stay in sync. The video comes slower than the audio. I tried VLC, KMPlayer, PotPlayer and WMP with K-Lite codecs. Is there any other video player that I should play with?
Other 1080p videos run fine in my PC, although none are as large in size as these ones and are usually in MKV or MP4 format.

what are the PC systems first off
Answer #2
the most common problem is you need more ram,
also update your graphics driver,
and use a disk cleaner to speed up your system,
try WinUtilities from apps section. it speeds up things.

I use CCleaner regularly.
Without updating anything would encoding the videos to a different HD format help? Thanks for your replies.

I was about to suggest converting to mp4 or mkv as i was reading this. But you have just asked it in your last post. Well it can’t hurt to try.

I reckon your CPU isn’t up to the task of playing high bit-rate full HD videos.
The system requirements of decoding those might be quite higher than what you currently have. Lower bitrate ones might play fine though.
Answer #8
What sort of graphics card or on board video do you have?
Answer #9
I converted the videos with Xilisoft HD converter to MP4. They seem to be playing a lot better now, albeit still a bit choppy. I guess my hardware is nearly obsolete.
Anyway, thanks a bunch for your replies, guys!!
Answer #10
Not sure if handbrake handles that format. But if it does, you can change the resolution down a bit, that may help. Or even as suggested above lowering bitrate. These 2 things may help with playback and may not really lower quality much or at all.
