Podcasts cause CPU to go 100%
I just upgraded to 0.9.9 on my XP Pro SP2 laptop. When I show the playlist and add the Podcasts sources (even if empty and right after resetting all settings), the CPU on my machine goes to 100%. I can drop the process priority down to 6 (below normal), and everything else will run fine, and I can s...

You're right about HP/Compaq and their install CDs. This particular system is just a tad different than a lot of the others (e.g., their SmartStart stuff) in that I've got what appears to be a plain vanilla XP Pro install CD along with a drivers and utilities CD. The install process was to load XP, ...

What does your Task Manager say the CPU usage is? If it is above 90% I would suspect the issue is a lost or corrupted AGP driver. This is available from HP. WVC1, H.264 and WMV3 using a 2.8 Gig P4 is Marginal for 720p @ 30 FPS. However, MPEG 2 in the same resolution should work fine. If you play a ...

I removed the Windows Update audio drivers and reinstalled the ones that came with the laptop's installation CD. Performance improved less than 10%. HP's website has no newer drivers. I reapplied DirectX 9.0c (dxdiag indicated that's what I had before) and it slowed it back down about the same amoun...

Use omega drivers for laptops. http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati/win2k_xp.php I saw those yesterday, was a little hesitant to try a non-vendor driver, but just now decided to load them. Performance has gone down about another 10%. Not only that, but the video quality has suffered quite a bit, with a ...

Told you video codecs wasn't my specialty! :) So, I deleted the dir, no perceptible difference. Can't use overlay (cheap ATI graphics adapter built into the laptop using shared RAM), and DirectX 3D made things worse. Tried all the various output, but the Default worked the best. Still losing about 1...

H.263 performance shot
I've got a newly built laptop, with a 2.8GHz P4 with 768MB RAM and XP SP2. I installed VLC while building the system, and it played back my MP4 files recorded with my Sanyo HD1 camcorder beautifully -- it only used about 50% of the CPU for the HiDef 1280x720@30fps video and almost never dropped a fr...
