Title: Movies SUCK!!!
Post by: Stryke 9 on November 20, 2002, 06:10:08 pm
Any way to keep hi-res animations from skipping? I can't find a halfway decent DivX codec anywhere, so I'm stuck with my crappy Indeo 5, and I think the file's just too big to read smoothly... any solutions? Better compressors?

assuming your drivers are good, its your hardware that's not keeping up. Are you stuffing keyframes into your movie file to cue the codec to skip if the display gets behind the clock?

Hmm... yeah, but that's not really the problem. The problem is that is skips in the first place, likely to a good extent because the movie file's too big. I suppose mostly I'm looking for better compressors (or at least relatively new ones, I've never seen Indeo work well)

A working DivX would be handy, but I prefer to be able to work in 640x480 format at least, and I learned not to ask for DivX links when my LAST two threads on that got spammed to death instantly.

What do you think I HAVE??? It doesn't work, I've tried it. And when I tried the better version, it tried to install adware on me.

What happened to that good old DivX codec that featured the ";)" emoticon everywhere? It worked quite well, without any of this foolishness...

does there come a DivX codec quality setup screen with the codec itself. (I have one... I installed Ace Mega Codecs Pack 5.0)
If yes, have you tried to reduce the playback quality... I did and the videos play much more smoother and I can't really see any difference in quality
