HD Video Playback on PC

[Dobbin]

Having recently purcheased an EOS 550D, I discovered that I can't play the full HD video on my PC as it's just too old and not fast enough. What is the minimum spec required to be able to do this?

Hi donbin,
A bit of google-work will give you a rought idea. In my experience the key factor is your graphics card. A 500 MHz and at least 1MB ram would be bare minimum.
I use an intel i7 processor with 6MB and a NVidea GTX275 graphics card and that works excellent.
