You're welcome! Yes, indeed murky. AV1 is murky too, but it tries to compensate with high contrast settings. Murky/blurry video needs less pixels, less pixels mean less file size, simple math. Then one can claim he achieved a new breakthrough! H264/x264 were the last good formats. There are some rare exception for H265 8bit made with the first encoders, they are somewhat bearable, but not as good as x264. NVENC was always a piece of blurry garbage for all formats, anyways, the produced result was never sharp.

Ryzen 7 5800X. Thank you! Finally somebody sad that. I recently was walking in park and thinking to myself that all this "new" formats are creating picture inferior to well tuned h.264. P.S. I can add from myself that h.265 also create some kind of murkiness in videos and AV1 is insanely slow at encoding in this format.

A quite legitimate question, which I have also asked myself time and again, is why you should still use MU/WU under Windows XP at all. There are no longer any new updates anyway. The answer is very simple. If you make any changes or retrofit components from Microsoft, it can happen that updates are available for these, which logically could not be installed before. I installed the Windows Media Encoder 9 a few days ago. After a search via MU, an update was actually found. In addition, MU also found a further missing update that was previously installed but is no longer available for whatever reason. It is therefore worth running a search via MU/WU from time to time.

StartAllBack 3.8.8

I said quite sure, not 100% certain. It's easy to guess because nVidia is famous for making artificial restrictions for older OS in general, a goof example was the artificial rate refresh limit introduced for XP. Sorry, I don't have GTX960/50. I have a GTXTitan (Jan. 2013). And some time ago found a working 780 Ti in the local dumpster (E-waste). Both only support 8 bit H265, not 10 bit.

Or try logical extraction technique, the investigators connect the mobile device to a forensic workstation or hardware via Bluetooth, Infrared, RJ-45 cable, USB cable, etc. Make a Hex dump

You mean he can't see any video output at all? But it should play using only the CPU! Edit. Probably his output colour is limited, so he needs to choose 8bit colour depth videos only.

Today, I have installed Legacy Update 1.9 on my Windows XP Professional SP3 installation where POSReady updates have never been applied. It's just a pure Windows XP 32-bit. Due to the lack of POSReady updates, I decided to test Legacy Update in this XP installation. It was installed in seconds and calling up this service worked without any problems. It even offered to install root certificates and POSReady updates, which I didn't want and had to untick during the install process, though. The Windows Update search was performed in the Internet Explorer without any settings or actions by the user, and only few minutes later, it was done. Great service! I can definitely recommend it, especially to those who haven't use the POSReady hack. BTW, the result was the same I got in 2014 as all WU/MU updates have been installed at that time. I just wanted to be sure that no updates are missing.

Hi! I have a bug on Windows 11 24H2 build 26100.1742. When a pinned app on taskbar blinking, the auto hided taskbar not came up.

Here are two Explorer dumps from the last few days, from different computers: https://eternallybored.org/misc/startallback/dumps/

What about my "views", and how do they matter? MSFN members from the US can't supply Russians with any form of software or IT services, starting from the 12th of September, what is so hard to understand?

I'd gladly help you, but I don't have a high end CPU or PC. My most "powerful" is Pentium G from 2013? 2014? Supposedly, I can push it hard (overclock to the max.), but them again, it's not far from that old Quad Core.

What I am 100% certain of, - MPC-HC 64bit version decodes 10bit H265 faster than the 32bit counterpart, Try 64bit XP, maybe?

Thank you @Jody Thornton, MailNews(32 bit) runs nicely in both of my Windows environments, XP/32 and Win7/64, but i'll try out Epyrus anyway - since it seems to be maintained slighty stronger.

Never thought I would find this topic here, put ill input my view: I'd like mine back too.

Those era notes usually had 8MB of real VRAM, the rest was borrowed from the system.

x265 10 bit tends to suppress film grain, H265 8bit tends to over-saturate videos a lot. AV1 tends to over-contrast videos a lot.

The OP specifically asked about decoding, not encoding. His GPU obviously lacks NVENC anyways.

I'm glad you think rebasing the xul.dll file makes sense. Mozilla doesn't care about less RAM usage. Like many other manufacturers, they assume that the users of their newer versions have enough RAM available in their computers. Otherwise they would not produce such rubbish.

I am not always right. But a pure comparison of CPUs is not sufficient. Read here, for example, about the difference between SD-RAM and DDR2-RAM: https://www.transcend-info.com/support/faq-296#:~:text=DDR2 SDRAM(Double Data Rate,(double of DDR SDRAM). Maybe now you'll realise what I'm talking about. And apart from that, an Intel Pentium 4 is not the same as an Intel Pentium 4. There were different series like Willamette, Northwood, and Prescott. And within these series different FSB clock rates. So, forget about these comparison sites! The only way to compare our computers is doing the same test regarding all hardware components. P.S.: Due to my motherboard layout, there are several bottlenecks. Firstly, the extremely slow SD-RAM memory, then the very low bus clock rate and finally the AGP 4x interface, although my graphics card actually is an AGP 8x one.

Please, don't come up with your "gut feelings"! I have presented all the essential facts that you have not commented on. My presentation has nothing to do with subjectivity and hypotheses. But as I said, it's offtopic here anyway and actually totally irrelevant. Your cucumber is old and mine is many years older.

@NotHereToPlayGames, here for example.

I've just updated my original post. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Thank you very much, i used Serpent versions from december 2023 (i do not know why but it seems to me they worked slightly faster then april-may 2024 versions. Now thank to your advise i updated to latest 2024-07-05 Serpent (both 52 and 55) and it now works. And it is good to see Hotline finally working as it suppose to be in roytam1 browsers.

What with site uefa.com Why only empty white page and nothing else? (Fresh March version of New Moon)

As you surely noticed, you have to use a more recent version v1.5 of ProxHTTPSProxy when using IE8 for connecting with MU/WU. The error code 0x80072F78 is described as "ERROR_HTTP_INVALID_SERVER_RESPONSE = The server response could not be parsed." You should check everthing related to your internet connection. Did you already read my Complete guide for restoring IE's access to WU/MU website using ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy in Windows XP? I think you missed something.

Did you also check if ProxHTTPSProxy is working on other websites, for example, accessing the website https://www.howsmyssl.com/ in the Internet Explorer, as it should? Please, post one screenshot of this website including the programme window of ProxHTTPSProxy!

If my tip An experimental solution for the error code 0x80072F78 while accessing the WU/MU website doesn't work for you, here some further ideas: Check the Windows Update log. Check the date and time of your computer and Windows XP. Check if Windows XP is activated. Try a more recent ProxHTTPSProxy version. Check if the proxy is installed correctly and is working properly. Update all certificates.

I just tried, using New Moon (2023-11-30) to read twitter. And it suddenly gave me that: This browser is no longer supported. Same on Serpent (2023-12-15). Question - why? What is going on?

My post "4.2. My essential tools for solving problems in Windows XP — Part 2 — File extractors and packers" containg an article about 7-Zip has been updated now. Thanks again to @UCyborg for the hint!

The program LegacyUpdate 1.6.1 has been updated and is now available in version 1.6.2. Changelog from GitHub: I've already updated my original post, too. Cheers, AstroSkipper

I remember about 10 years ago i read about it and now i totally forgot. I was thinking today about this and did not remeber. I do not have 144Hz monitor so i can not test solutions that i read today in internet. So... https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=75570 Many years ago nvidia drivers have check-mark "Treat as HDTV", which can be unpicked. But it no longer there perhaps it hidden and needed some reg file to be activated, nvidia did such tricks long time ago with hidden options in drivers. Also i am not sure that would help. So my idea that you can create an alternative driver for your monitor using 2 methods: 1) Program Monitor Asset Manager (MonInfo) - "App can both read and write data in number of formats. It can also generate INF files, which can be used as custom monitor driver." I assume you can edit that .inf file to add needed refresh rates. https://www.rarst.net/software/moninfo/ 2) Method that i found on some old google cache text: I'm sorry i did not find anything else. Only that.

What resolution you try to run on your LCD with 144Hz ? What native resolution of your monitor? What exact model of your monitor?

Try latest New Moon 28 browser in Preferences\Advanced set User Agent Mode to Firefox Compatibility.

Perhaps i am not educated about this topic at all. I just ask about first AVX, not AVX2, not AVX512 You early write on win-raid: SO i ask does it possible to do AVX1 for XP64, or you are steel "not interested".

Link not working. Also did it work now with XP-64 recently? I remember you, for some reason, didn't want to do version for XP64. But can you, please, do it? And where is link on this? I couldn't find it in google.

Wrong , you just don't know how to do it properly , you need to inject it , not to use extensions and the such . Also , you need to block the platform tag in the browser itself . Do not disinform people . I remember our lengthy discussion in another topic where you couldn't cheat HTML5 test website, but I could and provided with the proof. Aren't you gonna say something about Firefox ?

archive updated with sha256 and sha384 support.

Another common mortal here, but I think we've had enough of that same ol' mantra of yours ; you keep revisiting/reciting the same demands, and I imagine you'll keep doing so unless you have it your own way, pretty much like a spoiled child that keeps crying to have its needs met ... Common/mere mortals as in browser users (and, mind you, common/mortal browser users are only using the latest Google Chrome version on Win10/Android these days...) are expected to follow and apply detailed and easy to understand instructions others have compiled to mitigate known issues in the niche browser builds they're using in their niche (as in outdated/unsupported by vendor) Windows OSes; those instructions aren't meant for developers, just users! FirefoxESR 45.9.x and patented decoders support => detailed instructions posted (by me and others) to enable it via Adobe Primetime CDM or LAV Filters DLL files (takes 5min of your time, max...) Arctic Fox and patented decoders support => this fork is originally meant for MacOS, where h264/aac support is native to the OS; added code is probably needed to accomplish this for Windows, especially for XP... uBlock0-legacy on BNav => you need only a code/text editor to open/modify/save its "install.rdf" file according to instructions given; other mere mortals here in these forums can, why aren't you willing to? Doesn't take more that 1min, max... ... "Without your intervention?" This comes across as quite disrespectful to the massive effort exerted by the maintainer of several browser forks; aren't you willing to make yourself even the slightest of efforts? It appears you only want to be spoon-fed, so that your stomach is kept full without "your intervention"... Grow up! To all others: I apologise for the rant-ish nature of my post, but I had to vent...

Downloading serpent 55 problem solved.

normal speed here.

you may need to update min/max version in install.rdf as upstream lowered the application version to 0.9.

Tb52 is fully featured RSS reader, while Sp52 is just a web browser. Even official Fx52 behave in same way. <content:encoded> is not parsed by design.

not happening here. also not happening here.

try redownload it

@roytam1 thanks!
