playing 1080p HD videos on my computer?
i have some hd video files that are in 1080p and my laptop has some trouble playing them. some are in the .avi format some are .mkv format. i play them using GOM player. my computer has an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 135M graphics card. my processor is a duo core at 2.5 GHz so that should be fine. My question is why can't my computer handle to play those videos? what else can i do to be able to play these movies?
my graphics card has 128MB of memory. the 135M is a model number i believe.
i messed up with the format. the dvd rips i have on my laptop are in .avi format but all of the 1080p HD files are .mkv format. sorry :/
my computer has 3 GBs of RAM and when i'm watching the videos, i bring up the task manager and see that RAM (on my computer) is not a limiting factor.
anyone think it might have be something with my audio card? because lots of times, the video can play , but the audio lags behind... or is my graphics card just too wimpy for 1080p HD files?

Its quite impossible to get 1080 HD resolution compressed into .AVI file format.
1080 progressive scan relates to the monitor itself (the display) the file format stays as Universal Disk Format (UDF) and ripped file video can be encoded using VC-1, AVC, or MPEG-2.
Try using Media Player Classic with installing the K-lite codec bundle.

Your probably may be in your video card's RAM. It seems like a rather odd size (135MB?)... I'm sure you wouldn't be able to upgrade that since it's a laptop (much difficult to update video cards in a laptop). Try downloading and installing Media Player Classic instead and seeing if that remedies your situation. I play 1080p movies on my compy all the time with no issues but I have a 3.0ghz AMD, 4GB of system RAM, and a Radeon 3870x HD 512MB dual core video card.

You could buy a 1080p HD Adapter.

Is the computer lagging? Is the video slow and jumpy?
The issue could be that 1080p video is too large for the RAM to process. If you have 2GB of RAM, your Operating system is going to hog around 600mb of that. The video's bitrate is likely higher that the remainder of your available RAM.
You will have to put it onto a DVD or Blu-Ray

try downloading 'media player classic' It uses the least of amount of processes to run any video file.
