Bit Hunter Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The only PCs i own right now are Eee PC 901 and Eee Box B202, and non of them can decode AVC. The best bet has bin WMV-HD, it worked flawlessly under Windows Media Player 9 (haven't bothered t upgrade it yet). I think I will have to wait till next (when i buy a better rig) to watch Hak5 in HD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullArray Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 HD chokes an Original MacBook air (the new ones are buttery I'm told)..., The new eeeBoxes have HDMI right?..., perhaps they can handle HD better..., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Tall4U Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Do you have the K-Lite Codec Pack installed It has all of the codecs necessary for the computer to work with the formats http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite..._Codec_Pack.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3%5kr3w Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 im not hatin' at all, but why dont you just build a nice small cheap rig? I mean you would get WAAAYYYY more performance than a eeepc rig, for not much more at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 My on eonly have a DVI out, and a i945 Graphics chipset. BTW when is the new B204/6 is going to release... I use a DVI to HDMI cable converter, and works fine with my HDTV. In fact, using it vs the DVI to VGA adapter gives me a better picture and allows my Pixel Res to jump from 1360x768 to 1920x1080.

Bit Hunter Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Do you have the K-Lite Codec Pack installed It has all of the codecs necessary for the computer to work with the formats http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite..._Codec_Pack.htm i Have K-Lite Mega Pack Installed. ANd it still chocked on AVC. Although 720p Quicktime did play quite well with Quicktime Alternative Lite, but 1080p was a bummer. im not hatin' at all, but why dont you just build a nice small cheap rig? I mean you would get WAAAYYYY more performance than a eeepc rig, for not much more at all. If i build a new rig, i want it to shout out power. It is not going to be a cheap rig (cause money went to a Eee Box). I use a DVI to HDMI cable converter, and works fine with my HDTV. In fact, using it vs the DVI to VGA adapter gives me a better picture and allows my Pixel Res to jump from 1360x768 to 1920x1080. I have a screen with a DVI-D in, so i don't use any adapter at all, as of resolution i use max a 20" allows, 1680x1050. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Not an eee but I'm on an Acer Aspire One with IIRC the same CPU as yours, the Intel Atom N270, and its playing Hak5 in HD MPEG-4 with just under 50% CPU usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vector Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 play it with vlc player instead of windows media player. vlc player is going to be a bit less resource intensive than WMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Tall4U Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 It is using the open source FFDShow codec, if you keep k-lite codec pack installed but also get coreavc professional edition, unfourtunately coreavc professional edition costs money though, then it will use the codec from coreavc that if more efficient and it will put less demand on the hardware After installing coreavc you will have to disable libavcodec, by going to start, all programs, k-lite codec pack, configuration, and then ffdshow video decoder Then on H.264/AVC select disable This will give your machine more performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media Player Classic with FFDShow gives better performance then VLC. I have tried VLC and i had framedrops...
