So I did what was recommended on another thread here and downloaded the Zoom Player at http://www.inmatrix.com/ Now I only have 1 wmvhd file that doesn't play right, the audio stutters on Step_into_Liquid_1080.wmv. I guess the Zoom Player is just enough faster than Windows Media Player 10 to make a difference on the others. I looked at my performance and the CPU is pegged at 100% in both Zoom and WMP10 for some of these 1080p wmvhd files. All the 720p files play fine. All the 1080i files I've recorded from broadcast TV play fine.
A few other advantages with Zoom player is the ease of colour/brightness/gamma/contrast and aspect setting... not to mention zooming on the mouse wheel, fwd/rev. One of the best full featured players around.
