gui_m Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Hello! I recently set-up a HTPC for the living room to play back my video collection (most of these are in DivX / xVid format). Now the collection is in a second PC connected to a Wireless Acess Point. When I playback these videos I get an occasional (but VERY frustrating) skip. What appears to happen is that the video freezes for a split second and then jumps to the next keyframe and freezes again until audio catches up....what the problem is exactly doesn't really matter... I just wanted to know if there are programs that could buffer more of the video file to avoid this problem. I have Wireless G so bandwidth shouldn't really be an issue as i can copy a 120min movie in 15mins.Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamehead200 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 You should get a wireless router that supports transfers of up to 108 Mbps which are made specifically for streaming media over a network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svasutin Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 If you do go the 108 mbps way, your hub and adapter both need to be from the same vendor, otherwise you drop to 54 mbs.the "108" isn't a standard, but a trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
