hey people, just got myself a cheap little 400mhz celeron laptop.
Divx Playback via the latest ffdshow works rather fluent(except for avis with ac3 sound). However, my low bitrate mpeg-2 encodes refuse to playback fluently. Bitrate is ranging between 600kb and 2000kb, with 192kbps mp2. Technically, the playback of mpeg-4 material is afaik more cpu intensive, so logic dictates a smooth mpeg-2 playback at same bitrates. Has anybody heard of a fast decoder or knows some _wicked_ techniques? (iam not speaking of dvd, haha!)
