I have 3 systems, an AMD 1800+ with Gefore #Ti500, my main system, Celeron 1400 on a Via KT266 motehrboard with an ATI AIW-8500DV and a P3 600Mhz laptop with an 4Mb ATI Rage Mobilty
On all 3 systems I installed Win2000 and dx9.
On all 3 system I installed the Tsunami codec pack 3.9.7.
i played the movies with WMP 6.4 and BSPlayer 086-493.
The problem is that on my AMD system and the laptop a selfmade movie plays back fine (video 1600kbit DivX 4.12, audio AC3 5.1 448kbit), the quality is excellent, it looks on the screen (monitor) like every pixel is decoded by it self, CPU-utilisation is 37% (AMD system) while playing.
On the Celeron system the movie plays back fine too, 25fps, AC3 5.1 sound, but I can see that unlike on the AMD machine and the laptop, not every pixel is decoded by itself. I can see areas (especially areas with subtle colour-differences on the AMD machine and the laptop) that are just 1 colour sometimes as big as a couple of square centimeters.
I have tried every possible setting of the ffdshow filter, but to no avail.
As the movie plays fine on my P3 600, I surmised it cannot be a cpu-power problem, in my opinion it is a codec problem...
Does anyone have any idea what i can do about it?
(Apart from installing Win2000 and starting all over again for the seventh time )
Thanks, Belgarath
