View Full Version : Slow XVID playback in WMP

Not an urgent problem, but peculiar enough to ask for your comments:

I found a terrific XviD movie coded with AC3 audio. Coders are installed OK. Perfect playback with Radlight 3 and just as good with PowerDVD 4. No problems whatsoever with any other DivX format on my machine.

For some reason, Windows Media Player XP (8) plays video and audio of this movie at about half the speed. Excellent quality, correct sync, no frame loss, but slow. My 2G P4 CPU with fast RAM cannot be the issue here. It must have something to do with WMP XP. Has anyone ever experienced this?

WMP 8 may have problems with divx/xvid playback. I prefer BSPLAYER or WMP 6.4 to playback xvid/divx content.

@iago

MPC: MediaPlayerClassic ? Don't know why, but with older builds and BF, it crashed, and now everything is fine :) Must have something to do with me I guess...
