    For XP and Vista, you will also very likely need "VMware Tools 10.0.12". They can be found at the Internet Archive - BUT since they seem to also contain items in violation of MSFN forum rules, I feel it best to not "link" them here. Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo for "archive.org vmware player 12.5.9" then do "parent directory" browsing until you stumble upon "VMware Tools 10.0.12". Some people label them as "legacy" or "preVista". edit: have not used, I tend to stick with VirtualBox versions 5.1.22 and 7.0.26 as I have my system configured to use BOTH OF THEM at the same time. I use 5.x for everything except Win11 testing, which needs 7.x (maybe 6.x, don't recall) or higher. and on second thought, the archive.org links "should" be safe to post here at MSFN. according to Wikipedia, VMware has been *FREE* since mid-2024 (news to me, free is why I've always used VirtualBox instead).

    Maybe, just maybe, you are better-served in reaching out to the seemingly-abandoned Centaury instead of this tactic to get Roytam to alter his releases for your video playback issues to follow the path that Centaury took. Roytam has chimed in, repeatedly. Repeatedly. REPEATEDLY. You don't like his answers so you keep playing this incessant nagging. Consider yourself lucky, if I were Roytam, I would have you on my "ignore list". I don't think I've ever witnessed as much incessant nagging here at MSFN as what you have been doing regarding your comparison to video playback and your apparent preference toward seemingly-abandoned Centaury.

    Gaslighting. Gaslighting. Gaslighting. NOTHING MORE.

    I really think it is time for you to stop festering roytam over your YouTube playback issues. Roytam has replied and you keep festering, festering, festering. @Dave-H - can you please add this to your "watch list"?

    It is possible that the SP3 you used for comparison was somehow corrupted. On my hardware, SP3 was indeed "faster" than SP2. I am not a "gut feeling" type of guy. I took quantifiable and repeatable measurements that led me to using SP3 over SP2. Hard facts that were repeatable. No "gut feeling", no "placebo effect". That's not to say that you are "full of it", lol, it is POSSIBLE that SP2 is "faster" on your hardware. Just saying that was not the case back in the day when I compared the two. One POSSIBLE factor is that I *never* install a Service Pack 'on top of' an existing installation - I SLIPSTREAM IT INTO MY INSTALLATION DISK. Then FORMAT and INSTALL brand new.

    If you ***REALLY*** want your video playback looked into, it's kind of ON YOU to do some LEGWORK in NARROWING IT DOWN. *Shoot the messenger* all you want. But that really is the reality of the situation. We (you!) need to tell roytam "playback WORKS in this month-day-year release, but it is BROKEN one week later with the month-day+7-year release".

    I've never done what you are attempting, I admit, so I am only going by "educated guess". We use Acronis at work for the task you are attempting. But it's also one of those things we only need to do once every 18 months or so. We all forget the process and have to reinvent the wheel every time.

    Did originally. Forgot as time went on, lol. If it were me, my next step would be to uninstall your current version of VirtualBox (which I have to assume is "new") and drop down to the 5.x branch. I'd have to research further, but you want a version that PRE-DATES hardware capabilities like "TPM". Just a hunch...

    This sounds "too easy" of a fix, but I'll go ahead and say it out loud -- have you tried booting into "safe mode"?

    @roytam1 I believe that he is asking not about xpi min-ver issues, but rather his issues with video playback in Serpent.

    I am on GitHub. But... You won't like this answer. I technically no longer subscribe to "keep XP alive" or "keep 7 alive". The endeavor is a great endeavor, don't get me wrong. But what we end up with instead is spoon-feeding a sect of society that *CAN* afford a newer mode of internetting (and most even confess HAVING NEWER) but think that they are somehow "entitled" to the rest of the world keeping their XP or 7 capable of "everything".
