The best codec for HomeLAN
Posted: 26 Nov 2005 15:52
Hello,
I have small LAN at mu home. In VLC case two computers are important:
1) Athlon 1400MHz +512Mb
2) iMac 350MHz + 192Mb
I'm playing movies at the Athlon, but watching them at the iMac. So I'm interesting which codec are the best to transfer over LAN, from quite powerful to poor machine. It means I can transfer a lot of date from one machine to other, and I would like to make most of decode work at Athlon machine.
At the moment I'm using MPGV1 but ii failed for some codec. It means that I cannot recode some (all?) DX50 and DIVX files. I've got Linux on both machines.
