Hello, I hope you're doing great.
I have a collection of video files here is the video and audio codec information:
Video:
codec: avc1
resolution: 880 x 660
frame rate: 30

Audio:
codec: mp4a
sample rate 48000 Hz

When ever I play these files with quick time or Vlc player the audio runs smooth but there is are glitches/lags in the video.
Help would be really helpful, I have a compaq v3000 Amd turion 64 2ghz, 1 gb ram, nvidia 6400 shared graphic card (250 mb)

Thank you!

you can use the plugins of media player to solve this may be this because your vlc is old please update it
or you go into settings and reduce frame rate but that will ruin the audio and video continuity

hello
I am also having same problem
I don't have any graphics card in my pc but I can't
play any HD movies
I thought that I required Graphics card for that
but in spite of having 250 MB graphics card you can't play them too
very surprised.


myLot reputation of 84/100. fiazio (356)   ranked 2,068 out of 5,773 in computer  2 months ago

I just updated my VLC player, it has a little improvement that is only after I decrease the quality of the video, I'm not even very sure about that.
I have also posted my query at the vlc forum.

If you have obtained a .mov file, then you have a Quicktime video file. Quicktime is a video and audio container format developed by Apple developed by Apple.

Quicktime Alternative is excellent software for playing back MOV files. Also Media Player Classic comes highly recommended.

I've tried quick time, it was playing slower than the VLC...
Let me give the classic player a try


myLot reputation of 89/100. harshmthakkar18 (157)   ranked 220 out of 5,773 in computer  2 months ago

Updated VLC,Media player Classic, Quicktime player, and even my graphics driver
i think its the fault of the processor
i have intel P4 2.40 GHZ processor 1GB of RAM
40 + 80 GB of HDD
But i am unable to play the movies smoothly
while playing windows task manager shows CPU usage at 100%.


myLot reputation of 84/100. fiazio (356)   ranked 2,068 out of 5,773 in computer  2 months ago

I found a way to get through the cpu usage, in vlc player in the preferences go in the advance,mode ... Go to codec and in the video codex x276 select, but I think that won't make a difference, though i noticed a bit of a change in the quality and increase in smoothness

I am kind of an experienced user of computers for about 4 years
but even i am confused with this problem
i tried many things and they showed some improvement in the performance
I googled about this and it said that p4 lacs multitasking so in order to play HD movies you should close all the programs and temporarily dis activate your antivirus program as it may be performing some background tasks and shutdown any unneeded services running at background such as indexing services as they take lot of computer's resources
Good luck

I'm probably thinking its a issue with my external hdd*western digital* 4500 rpm, maybe its too slow for hd?

Hello Fiazio,
If you are sure that graphics card drivers are up to date, and you have necessary codecs installed in your PC and you have plenty of space in hard drive, then try to allow hardware acceleration for those files you are playing. I am not sure though, but I think you may need to upgrade RAM capacity also to play HD files smoothly. However you can check out whether allowing hardware accleration can do it for you.
All the best happy
