Readiosys Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Hi guys !I bought a laptop for Christmas and would like to play my Divxs on it.I also have a Dell workstation (P4 2.66MHz 1024MB ram) and the playback is very smooth, even with the full quality settings.Now, What I don't understand is that the playback is not very smooth (image hangs, but sound keeps going on) on my laptop, which has a Pentium 4-M running at 3.06MHz (thus, a bit better than my one year old Dell workstation, I would think), with 512 MB ram.The software configuration is exactly the same, thanks to my unattended DVD on the workstation and the laptop and I am using K-Lite Codec Pack and Winamp 5 for the Divx playback.I assume it has to do with the fact it is a mobility processor, but still, it is 3.06MHz !!!Do you please have a logical explanation to that ?Thanks.

LiquidSage Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 you have a codec conflict. Uninstall winamp, k-lite codec pack. reboot and then install just the divx codec at divx.com. The basic dl is free. Make sure you have latest Direct X and that graphic accel is at full.Also, try VideoLan 8.1. It rarely has problems playing vids.Codec Packs seem like a great thing, but they often cause more conflicts than they resolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readiosys Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 Thank you for your answer, but just for my understanding, if it is a codec conflict, why does it work fine on my desktop PC and sluggish on my laptop ?I used the same unattended dvd so it is *exactly* the same configuration;Thank you very much; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidSage Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 probably the different config and settings used by your vid card (like YUV, pixel shading, z-buffer, etc). I have an ATI7500 mobility that plays smoothly, but when i used a distro cd with a desktop 7500 pci card it had problems with full screen vids so i understand your frustration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxthebomb Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I had this problem before too, I was using an older version of the k-lite codec pack, are you using the latest version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fillalph Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I would personally just go to free-codecs.com and download the latest xvid codec and AC3 Filter . Klite codec pack is full of stuff you will never use.]Bonkers[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
