Solve : Cant play HD!?

Answer» THANX for checking out my thread guys! My problem:

I have a Dell Dimension 9150, Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz, 2 GB RAM.
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX.

Now, everyone I've talked to says I should be able to play HD 1080p!
But when I do, with VLC, it skips like *censored*.. why?

Im talking about .wmv and .mp4 files btw.. Also, yeah im a noob! try the Klite codec pack and try using the media player classic  that comes with it. and see if it works.Thnx, but will this solve my problem? I mean, VLC does support the .wmv codec, so I just cant see why switching player should help?
I will try it though, thank you! Quote from: WallStreet on June 24, 2010, 03:30:39 PM

You said a noob.  That would indicate you don't know what a driver is.Come on dude, stick to the subject. Any other good IDEAS?Try GOM Player and see what happens. I prefer it to VLC anyway.
And what happens with Wndows Media Player?Thnx, Ill try that!
Same thing with Media Player.. and all other players I've tried.. Thats why I thought it was a bigger problem than just switching player. I tried converting to other codecs too, same result!   is there an exact error message that displays or are you just getting a blank screen and nothing plays?

hope this ain't anything to do with HDCP or something of the sort.Nah, it just skips and freezes, no error message.. I tried that Klite Codec pack as suggested and it got ALOT better, so thank you man! it still skips though, would be great to get it running smooth! Dont know what HDCP is, sorry..forget HDCP, you don't need to worry about it.

HDCP is a FORM of copy PROTECTION for video.  If that were the problem I don't think it would have played at all. Quote from: rthompson80819 on June 24, 2010, 05:08:32 PM

Yes, that is why I mentioned to OP to forget about HDCP, because it's not important for him to worry about it.

Anyway ... WallStreet

Read through this link and try following the instructions given. See if it helps any or if you still are having problems you can always certainly ask.

Also, I find sometimes one player can play some filetype better than another player, even though both can support same filetypes.
Extremely helpful link, thanks!!

I'm checking it out as I write! Just as a follow-up question, i've downloaded Media Player Classic. However, someone suggested I also download Core AVC, so I did that too.

With that one followed Haali Media Splitter. I have no idea what these programs do, are they really necessary? And do they just pick up and run, I haven't done anything but installing them..?
