I have a problem playing wmv, divx ( or avi ) files on my laptop. Every time I try to play a normal video file ( mainly in between 150-250MB and up, with 30 frames per second at 1024 × 768 resolution or higher ) I get distorted sound with choppy images and absolutely no flow to the video. So if I watch a regular movie, the audio will already be 3 minutes ahead in sound, while the video still shows the beginning credits. How do I fix this? It's not a codec problem. I have the correct codec package and I even have VLC media player and Media Player classic. The only movie files I can actually play are MPG and really small ( low resolution ) wmv, divx and avi clips. Is this a computer processing problem? But if that's the case, than how come I can't even play Xvid clips, that promise to use lower resources than the other codecs?
And you know what else is strange? If I put my laptop in suspend mode for 15 minutes, the videos play perfectly when I return. It plays flawlessly for 45 minutes or so, before chopping up again. Is this a process/CPU memory problem or something?
Here's the stats for my laptop:
Inspiron 600m
Intel[R] Pentium [R] M
processor 1.60GHz
589 MHz, 1.00GB of RAM
I also have a cable modem and sometimes my computer even slows up when I'm trying to watch Youtube. It definitely seems like a " Windows Processes " problem to me. But I disabled a lot of them, so I don't know now.
