Î'm trying to play some videos which were encoded using the x264 video codec with 1080p but using vlc it plays like a slideshow.
Do you think that the cause of this problem is because of my low-spec laptop? (intel core duo T5800 @ 2GHZ)

If you have an Nvidia card, make sure you're using VDPAU off-loading. In mplayer, this is done with the
-vc
argument:Without VDPAU, you'll need a lot more CPU horsepower to play the stream smoothly. For example, a E4500 @ 2.20GHz cannot keep up with heavily encoded x264 1080p streams without VDPAU. An Intel video card on a 2GHz system isn't going to work, I don't think. :(
