Can you try playing it with this for me?
VideoLAN - VLC media player, Open Source video framework for every OS!

Just to determine if it's the system or the player responsible.

To be able to use the Windows players for playback, you would need to install the Shark007 Win7codecs.

Yes, the beauty of vlc is it doesn't lean on codecs, makes it a great tool sometimes for troubleshooting, it even allows some tweaks many media players dropped for some reason. Shark007 is correct in suggesting you need codecs for media player to handle the files properly though.

thanks for all , i have installed vlc and worked for few time and become slaw again
i use codecs like k-lite codec ,real alternative

You can hit the vlc forum for performance tweaks, sounds like your system is just choking on them. What's the filesize/length of these videos?

uninstall both of these codecs and install ONLY the Shark007 Win7codecs.
After installation you can use Windows Media Player to playback your files.

i have tried but still have this problem?

There is a Settings Application installed with the codecs.
Open it using a right-click on the startmenu shortcut and select 'Run as Administrator'
At the bottom of the application is a checkbox for SUGGESTED settings, give that a try.

i tried alot of videos some 2hr.30 some 30 min

If even VLC fails at the task that means there must be an underlying problem since VLC uses its own codecs.
Everything from here out can only be guesswork. So bear with me
What background processes are running while you try to watch movies?
How recent are your graphics drivers?
Is it the same if you try to watch a movie right from the DVD ?
Is there any chance the System overheats and chokes the CPU ?
How fragmented is your hard drive that stores the movies?

Try to address those possibilities and report back

i tried that before and nothing happened .i feel that it is a system problem

 

[Maguscreed]

Well let's have a shot at finding a offending driver, if you're willing.

It's a bit involved though.

You could also try disabling your antivirus and firewall just while you playback video and see if it cleans it up. It really is just sounding like your system resources are going somewhere other than the video playback.

This is the type of behavior I see when trying to playback hd video on my old single core laptop. In that case it's the system just not being able to keep up. Your system should have enough under the hood to manage basic hd playback though.

first i'm using a notebook msi cr500 with that specifications

and while i watch the movie there are no big programs running just small programs like chrome and messengers
and the laptop works as usual no overheats
and i have no movies on dvd right now to try

If you chose to disable UAC (user account control) could also be reason for these issues.
If UAC was disabled and you're going to re-enable it to test,
you would also have to uninstall the Sharkk007 codecs and re-install them.

 

[Maguscreed]

Just out of curiosity what does the performance tab in task manager look like when these videos are playing?

 

[MNasr]

thanks for all , i inst alled storm codec and it works well with all extensions

 

[SledgeDG]

I'm glad you got it sorted but I'm still not convinced it was a sole codec problem...sharks codecs work here just great.

Thanks for the feedback
and good luck

Yeah, something is a bit screwy there, since most these codec packs contain basically the same codecs. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
