dont look at sony`s site just go to www.nvidia.com and download the latest driver for 8400mGT.

 

[junaidgangs89]

[Baber Kamal]

i dunt think c2d 2ghz can play 1080p HD files,, as far as i know c2d 3.0ghz with 1gb ram iz the minimum to run 1080p HD files

 

[Devastator]

No.. any C2D is capable of playing 1080p HD files...

His Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz will be able to play two 1080p videos simultaneously, even more probably.

 

[junaidgangs89]

thanx for rply my brothers well there was a time when my system played it smoothly but it happened after i ran the system restore n now the codec r out of order i have again tried to fix by restoring it again 4 times but failed when idle it shows 2% CPU usage but when i play the file on media player classic it goes to 96-92%.....i have tried different k-lite codec versions but nothing my hard drive iz almost empty and no un-necessary programs installed.

Well, if player is the issue then you can try KMPlayer. I play 720p files with it smoothly when my KLM Media Player Classic does not give smooth play. (See my rig for specs)

wat do ya mean "there was a time when..."
play ur HD 720p/1080p files on VLC/GOMplayer these r really gud at playin HD files

 

[Devastator]

dude i dunt think thatz possible..

Well, I know its possible.

 

[mave3]

VLC is the best possible player!!!
used it....and then try again.............
or go for Divx player!!!

 

[Devastator]

VLC wasn't my favorite. I mean its definitely the easiest way of playing 1080p files, but from what I saw the quality suffered compared to DivX + proper codecs (Haali Media Splitter, AC3 Audio, and some other I can't remember the name of).

 

[mave3]

i still say VLC is the best and the most onvenient option to go for!!!

 

[junaidgangs89]

the problem iz with the codec but as i said earlier i have tried quite a few so give me a link of codec which u r using and works great.

 

[mave3]

hmm codecs..
check ur pm @junaid!!
