How to activate hardware accelerated in Quicktime

Hi,

i have a ATI HD3560, a Athlon XP 2600 and a LG Blueray drive. With this hardware i can watch Bluray`s with no problems. But when i want to watch 1080p HD Trailers from Apple, i get a poor performance and can't watch them, even 480p and 720p.

How can i activate any hardware accelerated video in Quicktime?

Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Open the Display control panel>Settings>Advanced>Troubleshoot, that's where the hardware acceleration is.

Or open the QuickTime control panel Audio tab>Select Audio playback and Recording Devices>Advanced>Performance, but that may be mostly for audio.

QuickTime control panel> Streaming tab> Instant-on, you could try moving those settings

No - i mean an explicit information about quicktime hardware accerelarion of video encoding.

All the settings are common global settings for windows xp.

Another question:
Is QuickTime able to use ATI's AVIVIO Video Hardware Acceleration of video encoding or NVIDIA's Pure HD Hardware Acceleration of video encoding?

Simple and clear.

Of course what were you expecting, QuickTime is only a media player.

I'm not using any ATI so I wouldn't have a clue, and unless someone happens by, then these are probably the best people to ask.
