How To Play HD Video On a Netbook

Posted by timothy on Thursday February 18, 2010 @01:34PM from the addressing-that-stuttering-problem dept.

Barence writes with some news to interest those with netbooks running Windows: "Netbooks aren't famed for their high-definition video playing prowess, but if you've got about $10 and a few minutes going spare, there is a way to enjoy high-definition trailers and videos on your Atom-powered portable. You need three things: a copy of Media Player Classic Home Cinema, CoreCodec's CoreAVC codec, and some HD videos encoded in AVC or h.264 formats. This blog takes you through the process."

You make some good points, but you've made one serious mistake. A "cool dude" would not have the lastest Spider-man movie on his drive.

I'm buying a 17" netbook later this year.
The name just feels lighter!
