hi there all...
what i would like to know is what set of codecs and filters one should have on the pc. especially filters... I can understand codecs for video and audio and it is simple to add/remove the ones i need as the need arises but with filters i'm not sure how can i manage the filters i have (i.e. view which ones installed and add/remove them at will) and i also not sure which ones i need for what...
I tried nimo codec pack but there isn't really any info on what should i install and how to uninstall specific ones
the particular reason i came to write this is because i have to pcs on xp1700+ running winXP and the other P3-450 with win98(lite98 version), the later one is connected to the TV for multimedia viewing.
Now, while some filems play fine on both - others seems to stutter (jump in video and some sync problems) on the p3 one. However - I believe that the P3-450 (with a radeon 7000 and 480mb ram) should be fast enough so i thought it is probably down to the set of codecs and filters installed on each....
while i'm at it i would like to know if there is a utility that can tell me how a film is encoded (i.e. which codecs and filters i need to play it) - maybe that would shed light on the reason why some dont play properly...
cheers in advance
