From there you can choose to watch them with the likes of PowerDVD and WinDVD or you can re-encode them to MPEG1 (VCD) or DivX. Advanced functionality can be found in the context menus. Grab it from here (fileforum.betanews.com). If you have a slow computer and want to play those DiVX movies, but you got lot of dropped frames, well worry no more because the first DivX decoder card has been released from a company called Sigma Designs. To celebrate the release of the card Toms Hardware have put it to the test and done up a review which you can check out here (www.tomshardware.com). To get you started, here's the intro: Most video enthusiasts are all too aware of the fact that you can only play films in MPEG-4 or Divx format in full-screen mode smoothly by using a powerful PC system. So what's the point in spending entire days downloading a long-awaited movie from the Internet, only to find you can't even play it properly? After all, not everyone has a high-speed processor with a high clock speed. To ensure that just about any Divx film can be played back without image dropouts, you should use at least an AMD Athlon with 800 MHz plus or an Intel Pentium III/733. Otherwise, you will very soon encounter image gremlins or errors, particularly if the image content is complex with numerous motion vectors. Videos with action scenes are good examples of this. ATI released a patch for the new ATI Catalyst drivers (official ATI quote: Industry’s most stable 3D acceleration software). It fixes problems with the game "Grad Theft Auto 3": GTA3 Catalyst Patch - Windows XP (download.ati.com) GTA3 Catalyst Patch - Windows 2000 (download.ati.com) GTA3 Catalyst Patch -Windows 9x/ME (download.ati.com) The patch replaces several D3D driver files. X-bit Labs has published a GF4 4200 Vs Radeon 8500LE comparo (www.xbitlabs.com) to see how the budget card in the GF4 titanium series fares. The article tests both the 64MB and 128MB versions of both cards to see which one comes out on top. Go have a read. |
