problem with HD and high resolution video

[aliasali]

Hi guys!
i hope to find a solution or a simple board..
we use resolume avenue from the 3.0 version and it seems to be a valid helper and a good partner for all that regards handling solutions for the scenography during live performances in theatre.
said that,now we need to manage business convention wtih different relator and different background (hd) and other staff like keyng text, graphics contributes etc...everything is displayed on a big big screen! say that the show requires more dfinition than the usual 640*320 or 800*600 pixel..
Before the event we've took some HD footage and render it throguh adobe media Encoder CS5 with the DXV codec for doing some test with our desktop pc:
intel i7 930 / 6GB ram 1333 / ati HD eyefinity 6 2Gb ram DDR 5 / 1,5 TB hard drive
the result displayed is a no-fluid HD video but a jerrky one.
the endoding is DXV 1080 25p and DXV 720 25p.
neither one has a smooth and fluid motion. we tried other codecs like avi cinepak and photo jpeg and other framerate such as 15p or 30p but nothing appear fluid.
Our questions is:
is there someone that manage resolume avenue with high definition video on different layers without jerky motion who can give us an advice or a board or a trick or a similr story or THE ANSWER (if it exist)...?? (
Thank you so much for the time spent in reading this S.O.S message and who knows if we could be lucky..
again, thank you so much!!
cheers

I forgot to tell you that the OS is:
WIN 7 64bit with driver and software all updated.
thank you bye!

Hey Aliasali

If you are experiencing jerky playback, this is most likely because Resolume cannot read the pixel information fast enough. For smooth full HD playback across multiple layers, we recommend storing your footage on an external or internal SSD drive. We have run tests with a setup quite similar to yours and an internal SSD, and were running 6 layers of 720p at 60fps.

I hope that answers your questions.

hmmm - I'm sorry... but u can't say that u are able to play serveral HD clips in DXV at once but only with temp high-end equipment?? ucan?

When I have jobs which are requiring a HD resolution.... I'm going to use a Show Mediaserver like "coolux PandorasBox , Maxedia or Hippotizer). Please don't understand me wrong.... Resolume is one of the best Vj Tools....
In the past I tried to make visuals with some of the mediaservers.... wasn't very comfortable

Hmm... my words aren't very helpfull..aren't they?

@aliasali:
may I see one of the videos u are using?
To which framerate is your graficcard set to?

This would be my advice, too. I was not able to get the performance I wanted until I moved my 720p clips (PicVideo M-JPEG codec) to SATA II SSD. I will upgrade to SATA III once the standard is more stable.

I know some programs have settings to buffer clips in memory, but that doesn't work when I am using clips that are 5-10 minutes long.

I'm also wondering if a 10,000RPM mechanical drive would be fast enough?

BTW correct me if I'm wrong, but the three most important factors in Resolume performance are: GPU, HD speed, and codec used. I don't think it's going to matter if you're running the fastest i7 out there, as CPU is not the bottleneck.
