Jerky video playback
You guys have been great so far in helping a numpty like me get my ancient laptop up and running.
So todays question - video playback is very jerky, often lagging 3-4 seconds behind the sound. Is there anything I can do to improve that, or is it just down to the slow machine? Its an Acer Aspire 1350 with 1.5gb ram. Not exactly cutting edge I know. |

its no blinder in the wizz stakes but ,
How much ram is there .. and is it a 2000 CPU ?? ?? needs 1 gb to give it a chance ? and the Hard drive if the original is probably a bit slow ..too All contribute to the slow data transfer rate , a low ram count means the HD has to overwork and hence jerky Video . As its got an IDE/ATA Drive ( and 133 max) you can't even slot in a small SSD C.

I think I've sorted it!
Found a great free media player called VLC - MP4 files playing perfectly. Its an old machine this, but the better I get it to run the less I want a new one. |
