Can laptop Radeon HD7130 play full HD video?

[slippyjim]

Hi,



I have a Toshiba laptop with the following spec

E1-1200 APU 1.4GHz

Radeon HD 7130 gfx

4GB RAM

Win 7 x64 fresh install with all latest drivers from AMD website using the auto detect program



Should it be able to play Go Pro Full HD video? At the moment it stutters between frames and then just displays a grey screen for a bit. I'm using vlc to play the files

I've asked on the AMD support forum but days later its still waiting for a moderator to approve it....

Thanks

what size and format does your go pro save its files in ?

 

[slippyjim]

mp4 fullhd 1080*1920

x264 ?

 

[slippyjim]

yes it h264 - mpeg4 avc

It cant even play a 720p go pro file either

When I play it, VLC goes to 70-80% in task manager, but shouldnt the graphics card be doing the work here not just the cpu?

well in reality CPU does a lot of the computation in video file playing. weird I have a Q8300 with a GT730 and video play just fine 1080p h264 MP4 with Mp4 stereo sound @ 192, ... not sure what to tell you, do you have a DVD or movie on thumb drive to see if your getting the same result?
have you tried to use MS video player ?

I know this processor is slow and rubbish, but I was always under the impression that the AMD graphics cards were good enough for full HD and certainly 720p, its almost as if the driver isnt installed even though device manager says it is

I've tried WMP as well, and its even worse in that, just a black screen

I'm going to see if I can find an old SD divx file and try that, it should be able to play that....

Ive found this - http://www.tomsguide.com/forum/81139-35-netbook-play-full-videos and he says it can play full HD but there is nothing to back him up

It can play DVD'd and a mpeg4 divx 624 * 352 file no problem - CPU usage around 20%
