PLEASE HELP ME (Mac Video Problems).

[Sally]

After sending all my money on this computer, it does not do what it
should be doing.
I'm having trouble playing QuickTime videos at 640 x 480 screen size on my
Mac computer.
No matter what video program I use, they all run very slow at 640 x 480
full screen.
In order to record full screen video to tape from a Mac computer you must
print to video tape at 640 x 480.
So I don't think it's a question of monitor size.
I have a 13' Monitor, but I'm also getting the same problem with the 27'
composite TV screen I also have hooked up. I'm using QuickTime 2.5.
Is there something I can do or get that will let me play and record my
videos at 640 x 480 screen size with good quality?
