    100% CPU usage playing divx? solution!

    Hi everyone,

    after a year of trying all kinds of codecs, filters, windows settings and players, I finally found a way of playing all my 159 Divx movies smoothly on my rig.

    solution:

    - forget about the divx 5.x codec!
    delete the whole thing and use ffdshow instead, a great codec for playing all divx content (3.x and 5.x)!!! The codec also provides for great postprocessing tools.


    - use BSplayer as your movie player
    The best free media player in the world. BS.Player™ is used by more than 70 million computer users throughout the world and it has been translated into more than 90 languages. It can download and playback any YouTube video and automatically download subtitles.


    - to be able to have sound with your movies, use a mp3 codec (lame, fraunhover) and an ac3 codec

    This combination was the reason for a CPU usage drop from 100 to 60%!!!

    the difference has to do with 3dnow optimisations I think...so people with k6-x cpu's should benefit the most of it.


    hope it works for you as well...
