H264 video from my video cameara would not play no matter what. Yesterday had the same issue while trying to play MKVs with VLC - choppy and all. Using a 90W PSU fixed everything.

If the battery can output more than the 65w power supply then maybe the answer is no, the 65w power supply is not enough power for full performance. @anon
