Ok so /hr/, i need your help with HD videos.

All the HD videos stutter with vlc, bsplayer and anyother players.

Is there a reason for this?

My comp is 1,4 ghz amd athlon, 512 mb or ram and an ATI Radeon 9600 XT 128 vram.

I got windows xp SP2.

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del

Windows Task Manager will pop up then right click on whatever process is responsible for your video player then set priority to high.

Hope this helps... but gee... you definitelly should consider upgrading your processor.

Make sure you do not set its priority to real time. It will crash XP because it will literally set 100% of the CPU to that task, until it is finished. You can't even move the mouse to end the task or input keyboard commands.

But yeah, look to upgrade your PC. I play HD movies in VLS and MPC regularly and they work just fine.

Since were at it, what is the minimum specs for HD videos?

yeah, mines skips as well. Though I have a laptop, not a pc. I tried that ctrl+alt+del method. don't really see much of a difference since it still skips. I'll look into possible processor upgrades for my notebook too. shit sucks

depends on how they are encoded. Some of the higher bitrate stuff, like h264, will show 60-80% cpu use on my core2duo (2.4ghz); but most HD stuff barely goes over 10%cpu use. Just get a core2 and you will be fine, and if you cant afford that you prob don't have a HD monitor and shouldn't need HD video anyway.

Use the CoreAVC codec.

Processor is simply too slow. I was using a 1.8ghz amd athlonxp 2500+ in my media box and it would only play a handful of HD videow properly. I upgraded to a PD 805 and now it plays everything just fine. You can overclock those to ridiculous speeds but it plays just fine out of the box. and the mobo and processor together cost just over $100.

What about a P4 630 processor? I heard that when decoding h.264, it's the processor what counts. Asking because I srsly need to renew my Sempron-based architecture and I'm considering buying the P4, an appropiate mobo and the Audigy 2.

Get anything but a p4 (even a p3 would be preferable).

The core 2's are the best at the moment, but I'm quite happy with my athlon64 X2, and they are typically offered as the "budget" option now.

Right... i have AMD barton 2500+ 512 DDR 400mhz and g-force fx 5600... and belive me, that You'll never play blueray rips (in h264 especially) on your machine :) Core2 is the best option.
Oh and Kickassanime made some tests about this. Look at their forums

listen to this man

the coreavc codecs are very fast for decoding HD video
