Sharing of the processor with many background processes, print spooling, network monitoring or other network activity, and other programs running while RIDE is trying to play videos are examples of processes that can slow down the video playback.

Your display monitor needs be able to display at least 16 bits of color. If you set it in 24 bit mode the color quality will improve, but the playback performance might be less on some slower computers.
