any faster mp4 player? Realplayer takes very long to load on Thinkpad X61 32bit (SSD storage) with 2GB RAM
Seems like for larger mp4 video files of > 50MB (which I downloaded from youtube),
realplayer takes more than 30secs to load the video before it started playing the
video.
Q1:
Is there any faster freeware mp4 player that run on Win XP 32bit?
My laptop is already on SSD; it must be the CPU as I noticed from Task Manager
that the CPU is constantly at 50-65%. I suppose realplayer's CPU affinity is to
1 of the CPU only
Q2:
Is there any way to tweak it to run faster? Even viewing direct from youtube is
much faster than viewing the very same mp4 downloaded from the same
youtube URL
I have lots of mp4 videos to review (& fast forward) so can't afford such performance.
Those videos I find not interesting (after skimming parts of the videos), I'll just delete it away.

sunhux, seems we have no further progress.
If the players I suggested don't help with faster load. Consider removing the SSD and get a good WD sata HDD.
Is TRIM function available on SSD for XP? No.. Microsoft answers
TRIM support has to come from within the Operating system itself; a driver or any other application alone won't get you anything. And only Windows 7 supports trim - neither Vista nor XP can do it.
Any driver updates for it in XP, No

![no drivers for SSD in xp]()
How badly do SSDs degrade without TRIM?

Vlc loads almost eight to ten times faster on my x61 so I m happy
That's all matters sunhux plus you have choices now
cheers

The SSD I used is Crucial M500 240GB, so I'm not sure if it's Trim enabled
My SSD was something I upgrade/install myself, it does not come with the XP
X61 laptop.
