My CPU is pegged at 98-100% while playing the Blu-RAY 3D A Christmas Carol (also Despicable Me) ATI Avivo is checked before the movie starts, and when I noticed stuttering during the first 5 minutes I came out of full screen and noticed that AVIVO is not checked and CPU is at 100%. Video card is AMD Radeon 6950 with 2 GB ddr5.


Here is the info tab from the player while the CPU is pegged:
