Hi, I'm new to LOTRO, just installed the beta game yesterday and it works very well. (all low). When the intro or a "cinematic" is playing, the video and sound lags very much, which never happened to me, I wondered if anyone could help me... I know this is a codec or sth like that isue but what should I do concreatly?
Config:
AMD Athlon 2800+
512 MB RAM
ATI RADEON 9600 Pro 256 MB
I know that's a very old computer but still it should run it well. Thanks. :D

EDIT: Maybe that's not in the right section, but I don't know in which it should be, or how to move it so scuse me

I think he means the LOTRO movies not watchign movies wile playing.

Mine lags at the start but if i watch them a 2nd time it clears up fine. If not i get it as well and it should be just be your Vid card.

Lags how? If the video jitters or stops and starts a lot it could be your hard drive thrashing about trying to keep up. Try doing a defrag on your hard drive.

lol, of course it's the ingame videos that lag lol, the video is always starting stoping as nazeroth said, my harddrive as 3 % of fragmentation so I don't think that's the problem but still thanks ! any1 has an Idea?
