When I first boot the game Supreme Commander, the videos run smoothly and without problems. However, after about 5 minutes of runtime, they become choppy and desynced from the audio. This wouldn't be a problem if it were not for the inane about of in-game video cutscenes this game has. Whenever these appear, the gameplay begins stuttering and is unplayable for the duration of the video. What could be the cause of this, and how can I fix it? Considering I'm getting 45-50 FPS even in graphically intense gameplay, and 5-10 in the same conditions with the video displayed, it's pretty bad. My system:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+
2GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForece 7600 GT (256MB)
Windows XP Home SP2
SupCom System Requirements
1.8 GHz processor
512 MB RAM
128 MB video RAM I have already tried deleting the folder containing the videos to see if it would just skip them, but it causes the game to crash any time it attempts to access the videos. The movies are labeled as .sfd (??) files, I don't know what they actually are. I've run the game with min settings, max settings, it runs the same regardless. I tried give the app high priority from task manager to no avail. Should I download some additional codecs or some shit? Is there anything else I could try to see if it would alleviate this problem?

I suppose you could try and completely reinstall the game. Is it a legit copy?

I <3 Supreme Commander. And try updating your Video Driver. Also asking this on the Supreme Commander Forum will yield better results.
