What codecs are you using and what sources are you trying to play? What OS are you running, with only 1 gig I am guessing XP?

For standard def stuff you should be ok and its probably a codec issue

For HD content your system is underpowered

More info on your system will be required for anyone to help though. I suggest filling out the "My System" specs in your profile then you only need to do it once.

Well to be honest to play H.264 HD content you have a couple problems. First your Athalon processor is a bit slow to decode HD video without help from a video card. The second issue is I am pretty sure Nvidia cards supporting DXVA started with the 7xxx series.

DXVA stands for Direct X video acceleration and basiclly means the video card is capable of helping decode the video.

Without DXVA support and using your exisiting hardware you best bet if anything is possible would be to try CoreAVC as your H.264 codec.


I had the same videocard as you but with an Athalon 3200+ and could barely play HD and it was dependant on the source file. In the end I eventually upgraded my HTPC. It was cheaper for me to get a new MoBo with onboard video and sound plus a faster processor than it would have been to upgrade the videocard and processor in the old one.

Was the stuttering content 1080 or 720?

the content was 720 and about dxva i was thinking about upgrading the videocard also
second hand is cheap here in the netherlands i would go for nvidia 9600 or higher of course or ati
and 1 gig mem on motherboard is also not much
where can i set the coreavc ? i am using cccp and haali media splitter

Think that comes with PDVD codec for mpeg2, not sure if it comes with the MPC-HC h.264 codec which is pretty good for dxva on the appropriately created files.

The reason I say the above, some HD profiles are not fully dxva compliant, if you want to keep such files, just use handbrake to convert the video file to a dxva compliant one
