How to run 1080 video on laptop that can only play smoothly 720p video because of its poor hardware? Can I download some special codecs or lower details in some way, or do I need to change its format ? If yes, this will take minutes or hours?
Laptop's resolution does not support full HD, so I don't need to play a full HD move in its native resolution - but I don't know how to bypass some details so laptop can play it smoothly.
Some more information:
Laptop uses Windows XP, I play the videos locally and I can use any program to watch. The laptop isn't mine so I don't remember the exact config. But processor is between 1 and 2 GHz and about 1 GB RAM. I don't know anything about graphic cards - but I guess it does exist - it can play 720p smoothly.
Where are you watching videos? What program, is it online or local? What operating system? – JNK – 2010-09-10T15:59:12.380

1I'm not exactly sure what it is that you are still asking? Is the video skipping at 1080p? Is this a blu-ray disk or a file? have you tested a 720p or is the assumption that 720p playback is smooth due to specs? – James Mertz – 2010-09-10T16:24:27.577
720 is smooth because of specs, i tested it, 1080 is not smooth because of specs and i tested it too - video is not played well – SuitUp – 2010-09-10T17:02:50.013
If you just want to watch the video any how then this is what I did. I successfully converted my HD (1080p 100MB) to 3gp using AVS video converter. It took me about 1:55 mins . But after conversion picture quality will greatly drop. I still think conversion is the only method. Sad I had to delete to my answer. – subanki – 2010-09-10T17:33:30.173
