So his card and > drivers shouldn't be an issue. I've figured out what it is. Video playback quality is determined by your CPU. I think my cpu is having difficulties, might be faulty in some way etc. When playing FMV the cpu has to prioritise between visual and audio, the visual loses out it seems and the lag worsens as the cutscene progresses. I've got a P4 3.2, so the cpu is certainly powerful enough to do the job, but I do think its potentially faulty. Once I work out what socket it is I'm going to borrow a mates to swap it out and see if it resolves the issue. PIA really :p Ceo-
