How To Play HD Video On a Netbook

Posted by timothy on 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."

    Come on.. an advertisement for a commercial codec to use in a Windows system / application?

    How did this make it as a story?

    I could maybe understand a story about doing this on an OSS system. But, that would not have been news because many of us have been doing that for years.

    When the OSS Nvidia or Radeon driver gets full VDPAU support, that merits a front page story.

    If only there were some kind of manual for programs like mplayer. Then you might know where to go to find that kind of information.
