I don't know about the resource usage bit (I'm with you, I don't understand why usage would be that much), but I'd be willing to bet at least some of the issue (if not most) is the wireless connection you're using. What's the bitrate of the 1080p files you're trying to play? Because with overheads, your 150mb might only allow you 14MB/s actual transfer speed.Originally Posted by pioneerisloud 
RDP should be using the server's resources, not the client's, if I'm not mistaken...no?
So is that why Client 1 is still having issues, because its trying to still use local resources? Or could it be because I'm wireless on Client 1 (150Mb I believe...its a wireless N card).
What can I do to make this function? I just want basic remote desktop 1080p playback capabilities on Client 1.....so basically I just need the server to process everyhing, not the clients.

I just tried disabling aero on the affected machine (both local and in the VM), didn't change anything. The video plays for about 5 seconds or so, then bugs out for 5 seconds, then plays fine (rinse and repeat). OR, it'll play fine the entire play time, but the video will be playing slower than the audio.
Not sure on the bitrate, but these are 3-4GB files.
It's been a while since I added these.The wireless network card is reporting 144Mbps according to Windows, and full signal strength. So that could be an issue I suppose. The other machines that I tested are all wired, and all with 1Gbps wiring.
