How to Play High Definition Videos?

Adept
Hey Friends,

My Main Hardware Configuration is : Intel D845GVSR, P4 2.4 GHz Processor and 512 MB RAM

Whenever I try playing any HD Video it throws out a Black Screen with a Display Driver Corruption Message. The whole Windows Interface looks like New Windows XP Installation without Display Drivers.

When I restart the system, the display gets back to Normal and There is a Window saying "Your System has recovered from Serious Problem... blah blah blah...."

I am assuming that my PC Configuration don't supports playing HD Videos :( But still any Freeware I must try out or any suggestion from you folks....

Help Appreciated

- Wishes :)
 
I have got MPHC+CoreAVC installed & it plays 1080p files properly in MPHC. How do I get them to work properly in KMPlayer? 1080p files just lag at some point. :(

For decoding any HD video you either need a powerful CPU which can decode the video along with Mobo or else you need powerful GPU but for the above rig its not possible to decode HD video. Hence any player cannot play HD video(All the above players can play videos only if hardware decodes it)

your problem is lack of good gpu ........ same problem used to occur in my old pc which had onboard graphics

Really? GPU is only needed for gaming/apps or high-def encoding/decoding. Not needed otherwise. My p4 2.8Ghz(on an intel 865gbf) decodes 720p high-def smoothly because the CPU's powerful enough for 720p . 1080p is laggy. So should be the OP's rig

@nitinveer, mpcHC with coreavc is a software solution and obviously uses CPU :)
 
^^ As he said ..

Windows media player classic plays the 720p movies with a very slight not noticeable lag.

Dont expect the 1080p movies to run though.
 
The above players run on their own codecs. But coreavc is the best and most efficient decoder in H264 . So its a separate program and needs to be installed and configured with your directshow player to work...
 
I think coreavc is efficient because it uses GPU(specific models of ATI/NVIDIA) for decoding.

so in his case it will not work

EDIT: I think I am wrong on this one ...

Yes GPU does play a role and that is more significant when you have a low end CPU. GPU helps CPU by taking decoding cycles from CPU, in other words it accelerates decoding process.
With no GPU all decoding load comes on CPU and on system RAM which results in lad while viewing 1080p/mpeg-2 video.
 
I actually read somewhere that coreavc primarily uses software based decoding.

I can play 720p even on the eeepc 4g (Celeron M 700 Mhz - 2 GB DDR2) using coreavc.

Plays smoothly (You will need to configure your system/player to use the coreavc codec)
