freezing and stuttering in avi

[glen]

Ok, hooked up the laptop to the TV with HDMI cable.
AVI file
DiVX Plus Player 8.1.2
Dell Studio 1550 LapTop
Every 8 mins or so, the whole thing freezes up, or stutters

 

[sdifox]

does it stutter if you just play it on the laptop?

I watched on lastnight on the laptop and it also seemed to repeat the problem.

 

[alcoholbob]

What about trying another media player?

try a different player?

 

[glen]

What is a good player?
Is there a FUBAR for videos?

 

[sdifox]

problem you have is the video card sucketh and you have to rely on cpu.

 

[Soccerman06]

Try VLC, its free and is capable.

 

[vshah]

also try setting your power settings to "balanced" or "high performance" in case it is currently set to "power saver"

Thank you.
Aside from it installing a yahoo toolbar, it was perfect.
It worked, and there are no more stutters.

Always do custom installs and watch each screen. Toolbars are evil.

uninstall it asap.

 

[glen]

uninstall it asap.

Oh noes?
Uninstall the app or just the add-ons?

Anyway, the freezing came back.
Is the only solution a new and faster laptop?

 

[glen]

The DivX player has some sort of option to output to Blu-Ray player?
Would that help? I was wondering if maybe that streamed the data out and the Blu-Ray converted it to video rather than the crappy laptop.

quick question, were you playing off the battery? some laptop cut your computer's performance when you are on battery.

Not off batter

 

[glen]

Is it possible to convert the files into a larger file with less decoding to do that would play without stopping? Right now it stops every 7 mins with some regularity.

 

[glen]

are there any uncompressed formats?

 

[sdifox]

what exactly is the source? normal avi files should not stump your laptop.

can you run cpu-z and post the cpu and video card info?

There is no reason whatsoever why your 720p video should stutter at all from that hardware. Have you tried updating the video driver? All MKVs do this or just one file?

You can also try http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/

uninstall divx player.

also, did you try just windows media player?

 

[Smoove910]

The KM Player always worked well for me. Sounds like something else is stealing your bandwidth. Whether it would be your anti virus software, firewall software, etc. I'd open up the Task Manager and watch to see what is stealing your bandwidth in the 'processes' or 'performance' tab. Should at least get you in the ballpark of what's going on.

Great news!

Have you tried updating the video driver?

I think they are updated.
I just installed the VLC and I just updated the DivX

All MKVs do this or just one file?

All my files do this.

You can also try http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net//

Do you mean ask the question there?

uninstall divx player.

Will that allow the VLC player to run better?

also, did you try just windows media player?

No. I shall try that now.
