Question

Can't Play DIVX and XVID Movies - Windows Media Player Hangs at 99% CPU time

Asked by: Philluminati


The problem with trying to watch these movies is THEY MAKE THE COMPUTER HANG. The Windows Media process runs at 99 CPU and the computer is unresponsive. (Often I can hear the audio fine by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete after opening a file - but the video is screwed and won't show up). One or two films play but most make the media player (WMP or Winamp) Crash.

I used to be able to watch DivX and XVid Movies on my P3 650Mhz Win2K machine using Windows Media Player 9. I had the DivX Codec installed and the K-Kodec Lite pack. Everything WAS sweet.

I've just got a AMD64 4000+ machine with a NVidia Geforce 6200 APG card. It runs Win 2K still and Windows Media Player 9 as per usual.

First I installed the K-Kodec Lite pack and it didn't work - Then I uninstalled it and tried the Gordian Knot Codec Pack. Same problem. Then I tried AVI Codec Pack Plus. it also didn't work.

(before you ask I am absolutely certain the medium and clips I am trying to watch are perfect and complete. I HAVE A DUAL BOOTING SYSTEM and I can watch them in Linux which proves they are ok - plus I can watch them on my old machine as well). It may be worth noting that I have my screen set up with dual screen (linked to my T.V.) the aim was to watch these video clips on my Television.

Anyway - 400 points to whoever can help me solve this problem. The problem is solved when I say it's solved and "It can't be done" won't earn you the points.

*I hope you can all help me*

Thanks in Advance

Phill

Have you tried using Gspot to analyze the codec info for the files your trying to play. It may give you an idea as to the appropriate codec to install.
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/GSpot.htm

 

by: sparkmakerPosted on 2005-12-25 at 11:57:04ID: 15549374

sorry didn't quite see the Gspot at the top of the list.

 

by: sparkmakerPosted on 2005-12-25 at 12:00:21ID: 15549382

But, my post may still be viable. Did you analyze the movie files with Gspot. It will identify what you need for each one.

Here is some more information about the videos I am trying to play.

Firstly - I know they are all valid videos because they all work in Linux. They're on a drive which is mounted by both operating systems. This will rule out the file being corrupt or the media type only being used by one O/S. (Although the partitions format is RAISER. Ext2IFS is the driver used to enable Windows 2000 to read the partition)

So then:

Video #1: Format (as read from GSpot) is div3 (DivX Low Motion). it says "the codecs are installed". The film plays but quality is extremely poor (that maybe a WMP setting).

Video #2: Extension is AVI. Codec is xvid (XVid). it says the corrects are installed. The clip won't play. As soon as I have selected the file using either the open dialog or by double clicking on it. Media Player starts to consume 99% resources and the computer hangs. The mouse becomes so unresponsive that it jumps every 6 or 7 seconds to a new position. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and while the pc is at the "Security Screen" I can hear the audio fine. (It's as if pressing cancel would show the video has started) but when I do press cancel. The computer goes back to being impossibly slow and there a picture of whereever the clip was when I canceled.

Video #3 Extension is AVI. No information in right hand side where codec appears. The container section reads "Quicktime movie". Same problem as above. Computer hangs...a ctrl alt and delete and I can hear it start and when I choose task manager or cancel and go back to the desktop...I can see the frame it was showing when I chose cancel and it hangs from there on out. There is nothing I can do by "End Process" it.

I'm pretty confident that these are the same problems.

I am going to try and uninstall all my video codecs and then reinstall them all again.

I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME!

Broken Codecs

You can try using a small codec. This could possibly help with excessive processing of the file by the cpu. Try 'DivX Light 5.1.1' (found of SoftPedia.com). It is a very very small divX decoder, about 250 kb.

If you are unable to play your files at all you can try converting your movies to a different format. You can use 'VSO DivXtoDVD Converter' (shareware) to convert the files to .wmv or .avi. Hopefully this will allow your setup to play these movies. :) Good luck!

I would suggest trying vlc media player :

www.videolan.org/vlc/

As apposed to wmp.

Then see if the quality of the movie is still poor, if so then it may just be that movie.

Does it do it with all of the movies you play in terms of the quality being poor.

Also what version of Direct X have you got and also have you updated your graphics card drivers recently ( if not then I suggest you update your graphics card drivers and direct x )

I hope this helps.

Also witih regards to the codecs I suggest you go here :

For Divx :
http://www.divxmovies.com/codec/

For xvid :
http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/

Re download them and re install them.

I AM STILL AWAITING A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. PLEASE DON'T DELETE MY QUESTION.

okay!

Point #1: I Installed Video Lan VLC media player. It's just a media player, It does the same thing as Windows Media Player, Winamp and the lot. All these media players are wrappers for the same video components. Each video player hangs and consumes 100% CPU Time so that I can't watch my videos. It's not a solution

Point #2: It is nothing to do with the quality of the video clips and ANY SUGGESTION that it's related to the file being corrupt / downloaded wrong, the wrong type will be completely ignored. It's not the files, it's the codecs or something!

Point #3: In answer to the question does it do it with all videos the answer is YES. I can make one video play with poor quality, the rest hang the computer.

Point #4: paxroman100's direction to a tweak couldn't be any more wrong. Searching Google and posting links to any old junk matching "CPU Time 100%" and "Videos" is just a waste of mine and everyone elses time. I wouldn't post a 400 question without searching Google first.

Point #5:
I have version 9.0c and I've looked at dxdiag to ensure that everything is cosher!

The most likely causes / solutions are:

Reinstalling the codecs (which i've done like a hundred times with loads of different codec packs) [suggested by gecco]

Why are people suggesting that I update my video cards exactly????

 I brought my PC like 2 months ago.....do companies really release graphics cards that are unable to play movies out of the box on Windows machines?

What I need are some solid answers.

Does anybody reading this have a AMD 64 machine with a Windows 2000. What Codec pack do you use?

 

by: sparkmakerPosted on 2006-01-03 at 12:58:47ID: 15602441

So every player has done the same thing, therfore the problem lies in the chipsets ability to process the codecs. Have you updated the chipset drivers for your motherboard?

 

by: gecko_au2003Posted on 2006-01-03 at 15:10:15ID: 15603711

I 2nd the motherboard drivers and it would be worth while getting the graphics card drivers from the manufacturers website.

Also I am not sure if you have done this ( So forgive me if you have done this already ) but what about updating windows 2000 to SP 4 I believe it is ( basically the latest service pack ) via windows update(s).

 

by: PhilluminatiPosted on 2006-01-05 at 05:13:20ID: 15617529

It'll take me some time to find the motherboard drivers but I do concur it could be a potential flaw. I'll post again as soon as I have done this.

My Operating System is Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4 installed and Update Roll out 1. This is the very latest version of Windows 2000 you can get.

So the next post is going to be me telling you about my motherboard drivers.

Good news everyone!!!!

I've managed to solve the problem. I absolutely blasted my Windows Environment with loads of patches and although I can't be certain what the fix was, I believe it was the result of:

A) Updating my graphics card drivers and
B) Using just the XVID codec with "Decode All Four CC's" switched on.

As A result I would like to thank Gecco for providing the most appropriate solution. It didn't work the first time but regardless I still think it was the solution.

Thanks guys for all your support.

:-)
