Well for Christmas I got a copy of Skyrim and a new blu-ray drive. A little pressed for time, since the spring semester for me begins Monday. So instead of deciding which to do first, play skyrim or finally end up watching Firefly on blu-ray, I decided why not do both?
So far the only program I have capable of playing blu-rays is the copy of PowerDVD that came with the drive. Now, my computer can play blu-rays fine, and play skyrim on high fine. Together, and I get a small amount of stutter in both skyrim and the blu-ray.
Since my i7 isn't even breaking a sweat, I thought disabling hardware acceleration in powerDVD would help kinda distribute the load. So I went and disabled hardware acceleration, but whenever I start up the bluray, it's re-enabled and then greyed out so I can't disable it. Stop the show, and it shows up as disabled again. Tried updating both ATI drivers and powerDVD, nothing. Am I missing something? Should I be doing something in CCC?
