    Searching DivX Player

    First of all you should know some info on my machine

    AMD
    266MH
    64 RAM
    No 3Dfx Card

    Divx Player : DivX Player 2.0 Alpha
    Codec : DivX 5.0.1

    Now the problem is :

    I have Spider-man DivX which I want to watch. The problem is my PC is so slow that the movie freezes and hacks all the way through. Therefor I have tried burning the movie onto a CD. That didn't improve the speed. I have since tried to use DivX Player 2.0 Alpha to lessen the quality and improve performance. That worked but there was one problem. When I view movies in Divx Player 2.0 Alpha, only the top-left corner of the movie appears. Even in full screen. I have tried everything. Editing the aspect ration, video size everything.

    So I was wondering. Is there anything else I can do or does anyone know another Player which supports the "lessening the quality to improve performance" feature?

    I would really appreciate the help

    266MHz maybe to low to play it. There is no way to reduce the cpu-usage if you allready disabled all quality-enhancing options. Only a few tipps:

    - use a low screen-resolution
    - lower colordepth to 16bit
    - use sasami2K-player (it's not the best, but I think it's very fast)
    - overclock your cpu

    If nothing helpes and you don't want to buy a new cpu, you can reencode the movie to a codec that uses less cpu-power, but you will get a (much) bigger filesize.
    don't trust in guides

      Or create a VCD from the video.

      The conversion might take quite some time on your system though...
