win2k/XPsp1: AVI files freeze reading from USBstick/USB-HD

[Kmuland]

Hi guys!

I ask here because I know that there are many people using 2K and old XP versions here. Maybe someone is aware of this problem and know a way to fit it.

Some AVi files freeze any video app when they are loaded from USBstick/USB-HD and also from DVD as Im reading here: http://club.myce.com...iaplayer-67943/

Same AVI files when they are being read from the system HD works perfectly.

Any clue to solve this problem?

My external HDs and USB sticks are OK.. I verified that AVI files working OK in XPsp2 and upper.. I tested with NTFS and FAT32, same problem with small AVIs or bigger ones.

Nothing happen with other video formats like wmv/mp4/mkv/mov/mpg...

Players and apps tested: MplayerHC, potplayer, WMP.

Exist any hotfix for windows2000 or XPsp1 to solve this?

Honeslty?

I would hazard a guess as to the systems specs or installed codecs.

You prolly aren't going to get much of an answer but to upgrade to the latest SP as we are pretty much all agreed that a fully updated OS is the best way to go.

It could be that the usb mode is set to 1 (so 10Mb/s) in bios or usb2 isn't even supported on your motherboard.

I bet that its a problem like that. Maybe XPsp1 dont give me all the full speed of my USB2.0 ports. Im checking USB ports have a 10% reserved bandwidth.. maybe very few? I can tweak and raise this value?

The machine is a Intel Quad core from 2008.. using a motherboard with Intel chipset

I think you are facing codec problem. Remove your codec properly, restart your pc play any kind of avi.
