    Hello,

    My daughter has a Dell Latitude D600 laptop. When she is trying to watch some .mkv or .avi HD videos about 2 to 10 gb in size the video cuts out and will not play without interruption. She uses the VLC player to watch them. She either plays from external usb hard drive or on the C drive. Some of the SD videos seam to play fine. Is it because of her video card or processor is out dated? If so is there setting or other player that will help when watching these videos? Below is her setup

    Intel Pentium-M processor 1.4 GHz with 1 MB level 2 cache
    1.0 GB RAM
    14.1-inch TFT display with 32 MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 video controller
    XP Pro

    Both the processor and video controller are weak for H.264.

    Experiment with MPeg2 720p.

    Try MPCHC to play these files.

    But your rage will only make me stronger!



    Try the latest VLC, but.... hardware seems outdated, 32mb gfx is somewhat lacking, for HD.

    Actually, HD on a laptop is a bit redundant anyway, isnt it?
