Body: <p>The video on our computer stutters or flickers. Cannon help and a computer tech told my wife that it is because our computer is 3 cores  and you need 5 cores really core i5 which is quite different of course- most core i5 are 4 cores and low ends are 3 or 2 cores. Does that make sense- why isn't it just you need more computer power or graphics power? What is requirements to show directly from the camera- wife is so cryptic?  </p>

  No. That really doesn't make sense.
  
  * Faster is better, yes, but often the bottleneck is disk io.
  * More cores should also be better as well, to prevent other applications causing stuttering.
  * Faster core speed is better too.
  
  But running video from a camera can be done on much older machines so the tech is talking nonsense.
