However as wratterus said your GPU / CPU determines a lot. If you've got an underpowered GPU, try the CoreAVC codec.

Just be aware that CoreAVC only works with an nVidia GPUs, the op's specs list ATI

Yes and no, default settings DIVX playback is horrible (blocky, banding etc) and there is no HW support for h264 so if your CPU can't hack 1080p but your vid card can, VLC won't cut the mustard.
