Any player where I can load entire video into memory?
I do a bit of traveling and am always looking for ways to increase the battery life on my laptop. I was thinking I could save battery life by loading an entire video (DivX or Xvid) into memory so the hard drive can go to sleep. Is there a program that does this? Or a setting in WMP 11 on XP?

I like the free RAM disk program called RRamDisk which can be downloaded from this site: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/0...d-2003-server/ Truthfully, under normal conditions I don't think you would notice much of a difference by sticking the entire video in RAM except for seeking performance. Now if you were doing something like defragmenting, which abuses your hard drive, then there might be a noticeable difference. Last edited by cyberbeing; 5th June 2008 at 02:37. |
