| 575552 | 2007-08-02 09:23:00 | Off hand, does anyone know the minimum specs (of the computer) to run a movie in say VLC or WMP? How much RAM, or RAM allocated for the graphics, is required? | Myth (110) | ||
| 575553 | 2007-08-02 09:26:00 | Not sure on min specs, but I am running a P3 1GHz with 256MB RAM and an MX4000 64MB PCI card in one PC and that plays fine... | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 575554 | 2007-08-02 09:28:00 | Do you mean to play a movie or to edit a movie? I would say that the standard 512MB should be fine for XP and maybe a bit more for Vista to avoid the possible jerkyness although I would possibly suggest using something other than WMP to play one. |

| 575556 | 2007-08-02 10:46:00 | Is this for your media centre? I had a celeron 766 running XP with 256mb ram that I used for DVD playback, she would stutter with the odd compressed movie but generally ran ok. Though I did get the sh1ts with it and sell it, so it can't have been all that geat. |

(though it will help to know how low I can go for the media centre specs) Tried a dummy run, and it stutters badly (no sound, video changes once every second or 2) |
