Unable to playback the 120FPS video downloaded from http://www.blurbusters.com/hfr-120fps-video-game-recording/

For VLC it moves at 20fps and is all pixelated (with lots of artefacts) and broken
In MPC-HC it moves smoothly at 60fps and everything is in slow motion
In DivX player (Latest) it starts playing but freezes at 3 sec
In ZoomPlayer it plays back at 70-78fps

How can I make it play the video at 120fps?

Software:

KLite Codec Pack 10.6.0 (Latest)
VLC Media Player 2.1.3 (Latest)
ZoomPlayer (Latest)

Hardware:

ATI Radeon HD4870 (Latest drivers)
BenQ XL2411Z (Version 1 firmware, 1920x1080@120Hz)
AMD 3GHz Dual Core

Notes:

The monitor is connected through a Dual DVI cable (it has all the pins)
The graphics card has one DVI and one VGA output The monitor is currently working at 120Hz in the windows settings (there were no problems with this)
The monitor driver is installed from the CD
http://www.testufo.com/#test=framerates does not display 120Hz. Only 60Hz, 30Hz and less

If you need more info please ask.

I have tried the example video on a fast computer with a high-level NVIDIA card.

I have downloaded both MP4 versions : "High Quality (fast GPU)" and "Low Quality (slower GPU)". I use the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack.

Playing the High Quality version, the results were very good and almost identical with either Windows Media Player, VLC or MPC-HC.

However, playing the Low Quality version was impossible with Windows Media Player because of high pixelation and stuck video. The results were however good with VLC and MPC-HC.

I hazard two conclusions :

  1. The Low Quality version is badly encoded in such a way that makes its playing impossible, at least with Windows Media Player (which uses K-Lite, while the others use mostly codecs that come packaged with them).

  2. Your computer specs may not be up to playing such videos at that speed, and this can be either because of the video card, memory, the bus, the disk, or even all of them.

In the second case, using a good video converter may convert the videos to something you can watch.

Try and see how you can play the High Quality version (life is full of surprises).
