I have a 680i LT SLI, 7600 GS, 2.13 ghz and 1 gb ram, 22" AL2223W and I've watched a few 720p movies and they all work perfectly in VLC, when I try to watch 1080i and 1080p 90% of the time they don't work, it starts playing but it skips or freezes the image. Is this a problem with my computer not being fast enough or do I need new codecs or something else? Thanks.

Your processor is not fast enough to decode the video. What's the make/model of your CPU, you're going to need more RAM too.

...in short, no, not really. Probably a codec issue. Try WMP instead, or another DirectShow based player. VLC is nice in that it avoids codec problems (everything is in-built) but it has fairly poor hardware acceleration support.
OP, what kind of graphics card do you have?

It's in the OP, lol. But yes I think the processor is MORE THAN ENOUGH considering you can play HD (1080i/p) content on a Pentium 4 3.06.
