I almost never drop a frame. My config is a 3.3Ghz i3 3220 Pentium with 6G of memory running Win8. It runs about 30% cpu utilization and 3G memory when doing a VHS tape capture with Pinnacle Studio so it doesn't appear that you should be running out of computer resources. I'd start task manager and see if some other concurrent process is absorbing a lot of resources. Short of that it looks like a job for tech support.

If your VHS tapes are getting old you may have problems like that. Also Head placement with "tracking" sometimes causes loss of audio and/or video.I would say the Video adapter either works or it doesn't work. The rest is either VHS Equipment of conversion software drivers. Those are my thoughts.

Stuff like flash (youtube) is very processor (cpu) dependent; I recently put this in an old machine which had an old intel core 2 duo e4700 and it was fine. So compare that with your own setup. It did seem like it was stuttering if anything else was running. It might be worth it to put another 10 dollars into the video card, but if all your going to be doing is running youtube video it's fine. (Although seriously consider bumping up slightly.)

Well, first the X7 instability issue is there Because Of How Minix built the X7's. Normally an Intel processer is created with a minimum and maximum run speed. This allows it to change the speed at which it runs to give sufficient processing power to the program in question. For some reason, Minix created the X7 and set it to only run at its minimum base specs. This causes it to run a bit sluggish. The instability comes from the software that runs it. It is far from perfect. There is an easy solution though. On the Minix website forum as well as other forums out there, people have created ROMS for the X7. These ROMS fix almost all of the instability issues as well as change the speeds at which the internal hardware runs at. Running an MKV 1080P file runs flawlessly on the X7 once you install the room that suits you best. A little research on it and you'll be a pro at it. They give step by step instructions on what's needed. Just take your time and you'll be fine. As far as mirroring, I know they were working on a mirroring program, though I don't know how far they have gotten. I personally only use my X7 for XBMCHUB. I own 3 of them. Hopefully this helps.

I had the same problem and the video playback was choppy. I don't think this product works very well. I wish I had an answer for you.

Haven't watched any movies yet, but lots of HD YouTube videos. I have fast Internet so everything loads fast. Videos stream flawlessly if originating server is fast or there isn't a clog in the pipe elsewhere. Buy plenty of RAM; 8GB minimum in my opinion. More is better.

This computer seamed to have great speed and video. I returned it because of windows 8 and a feature that switched screens all of the time. It may or may not happen during gameplay, which I would personally find annoying. This, however, may be with all Windows 8. I purchased a new computer with HP that had Windows 7.

The truth is I don't know...mostly because the processor is just fine for playing music files, but it is very weak at playing any video. I stopped trying about a week after I purchased it.

I just got my asus eee 1000h, installed sl.Lowest settings, before I start doing any tweaks, I'm getting about 7fps.Haven't got to try out the slvoice yet, but I can click on things inside the enviroment, which I couldn't ever get to work on the org hp mini note, I think that was becuase the hp mini note had a via chipset, which just wasn't that widely apectedI have a 2 gig ram card coming in soon, and I hope that gets me a few more fps out of my system.Will try to post again when I get that installed and tested

Video playback, audio and video is choppy for moderate resolution video, really bad (image freezes, sound stops) for high definition (HD)/ high resolution videos and sound.

Thanks. I am assuming from all these answers that the Eee PC processor (Atom N270 or N280) is beefy enough to show the video without jerkiness or other problems?

I tried win 7 profession and ubuntu, if the hd video is on the pc them it run fine, but if your streaming it won't play hd video well. I wanted just for streaming video from netflix, abc.com, nbc.com and youtube.com. Other than the OS and the browse there was no other intent purpose for it. if you going to use it for a web server this great but the video card on it is very poor, though, cpu is ok

I will suggest you use MK 908, it has quad core. Much easier to handle the video out put. Thanks, have a great weekend!

I don't think it is dedicated. I believe there is an amount of the system RAM that you can allocate to video. But it's still not like having a dedicated video card.

It is a regular computer. I have mine connected to a monitor and keyboard and the internet/router. I use it host a weatherstation application and a security camera app. That being said... it's a pretty low end processor. I run Windows 7 and keep it running 24/7. It works... I just wish it had a little more processing power / speed.I just ran some youtube videos on mine.. it was OK. The video was a little jittery. But in fairness I have two other apps running at the same, one of which is a security camera and it uses a lot of video processing.If you don't plan to run too heavy a load on it... it will probably be OK.

It doesn't slow things that I have noticed but we're not streaming video. It's a pretty low resolution @480p so don't think it should cause a problem.

both my video sources are configured in that manner and all is well. good luck
