I have a 2 years old laptop, Dell Inspiron 6400 with 2Ghz intel core 2 duo T7200 and 2Gb memory.
The video card is Ati Radeon x1400.
I am trying to play an HD 1080p/720p movie, after about 10 min of clean playing it's start to get out of sync and video is getting sluggish.
I already tried Coreavc, GOM player , KMPlayer none helps.
My cpu when playing is between 50-70%.
Does anybody got an idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks, Oded
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

It didn't help, is there a configuration i need to do to set h264 hardware acceleration?
-
Do you think my computer hardware isn't capable to play those movies?
However, because of the AVIVO video technology, the card can help the CPU decode
MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, WMV9, VC-1 and H264 video formats without any problem.
So, your HW should be OK for this job. -
I think that x1400 doesnt support full h264 decoding.
MPCHC and Splash uses only full h264 decoding so far.
Im affraid that if Splash and MPCHC dont work then you need to upgrade your graphics card or buy some commercial software :/
Try both players, from my experience I can play more h.264 files with Splash using acceleration.
EDIT: jus noticed you got: 2Ghz intel core 2
get SPlash and have fun with mkv. it must work -

ioio: do you work with laptop pluged in to power supply? or on batteires? make sure you work with "best performance" settings.
otherwise your cpu may be slowed down... (ie. 1 core disabled). -
CoreAVC is single threaded. CoreAVC Pro is multithreaded. CoreAVC pro is faster at decoding than ffdshowMT (the regular ffdshow's h.264 decoder is single threaded). The fastest h.264 decoder is Divx 7. But with only 66 percent CPU usage on multithreaded decoder decoding speed isn't the problem.
A note on multithreaded h.264 decoding: on a dual core system with a single threaded h.264 decoder you will usually see a little over 50 percent CPU usage because all the h.264 decoding is being done by one core (at any particular time, Windows may bounce that one thread back and forth between the two cores to keep heat distribution even). It's a little more than 50 percent because other parts of the process (audio decoding, read ahead buffering, etc) may be done by the other core. Using a multithreaded decoder will allow the video decoding to be done with both cores at the same time, nearly doubling the possible throughput. Decoding a 1080p24 or 720p60 stream usually requires more power than one core can deliver. Two cores is usually sufficient.
Is it only one particular file that's giving you problems? Maybe that particular file is corrupt. Can you play other 1080p h.264 files smoothly? You may have a miscommunication between the file splitter and h.264 decoder, or between the decoder and the video renderer (ie, output device in MPCHC). -
I think i will give up, i tried divx 7 now, it was promising for 10 min but then it went out of sync and the video started to slow down.
I am trying this on 3 different movies, 1 in 1080p and 720p and another one in 720p.
Thanks,

I tried it and no good.
The new thing i noticed is that i have Not using DXVA, i tried to work it as my ati x1400 support dxva but i don't no why it's not enabled.

There is really somethin bad with your PC hardware or with the Windows i think:/ -
I had a problem similar to the one you're having. I have a setup similar to yours (2.8ghz tho, dual core, ati 1650 video card, few gigs of ram). using VLC my playback of 1080p x264 mkvs was god-awful. I was able to resolve my issue (thanks to the help from users on this forum) without buying any shelling out any $$. If you haven't already, give CCCP a shot. worked for me. make sure "MT" is checked in the setup window and using MPCHC, mkv 1080p rips playback smooth as silk now, as long as the bitrate doesn't exceed 7500 or so
-
@ ioio, just an "educated guess":
it's not uncommon that some obscure registry setting, or
an application/process running "in the background",
interferes with the playback of CPU-intensive content such as H264-video.
Sadly most people install their copies of Windows with the default settings
created by the "geniuses" from Microsoft, and don't know they actually don't need
many of the processes that are installed and activated by default. Disabling such
resource-consuming services/applications might help you solve your current problems.
It doesn't hurt to try it, anyway.
HTH.
