[WINDVD9] which cpu for Natural Digit Motion in Max quality?

Post by fannullone »

Hi people... :wink:

In these days, I will buy a new media center system..

I have a limited budget.. :(

I need to know:
- to watch STANDARD DVD FILM (4,7Gb or dual layer) with windvd9, with Natural Digit Motion in Max quality, which MINIMUM processor I need to watch fine films..
On the Corel's website they say a recommend cpu is a Pentium 4 2,8Ghz for standard dvd.. but it's true?

An Intel celeron dual core e1200 to 1,60ghz (maybe overclocked), with 1gb of ram, it's ok?
Or a Pentium 4 3Ghz and 1gb of ram it's better?


I remember I haven't watch bluray! JUST standard dvd..

Thank you...


PS: I'm sorry for my english... :mrgreen:

For watching Standard Definition DVD's there shouldn't be a problem providing you get a reasonably well matched system (i.e. RAM, Video Card, Processor, Sound Card). Getting bigger and beefier systems becomes important when you delve into the world of creating videos.

The best advice for buying a new computer system is to get the best that you can afford of whatever is available at that time. You can bet your next months wages that by the end of the week it will already be out of date!

Shop around and compare what one seller has available in your price range to what another seller can offer. Many bargains can be found on the internet and also check to see if there are any "computer fairs" held in your area.

A computer fair is an of indoor market where you have several stall holders all competing against each other and so you can quickly compare the bargains on one stall against others. I have had the occasional faulty item from a computer fair but never had much difficulty getting things changed or refunded.

I found today to use Windvd 9 in a friend's pc..

His pc is an Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz, 1Gb ram, and an 6600GT Nvidia...

On this system windvd 9 with all2hd and digital natural motion doesn't works fine! :(

There are a lot of slowdowns.. CPU works at 92-95%...

I think it's needs to work fine, minimum an Intel conroe e6300, better if overclocked to 2,60ghz..

:cry:

Why don't you consider an AMD system? Their dual-core CPU's are very affordable and AMD motherboards are usually cheaper too. Also, their X2 cpu's are much faster clock for clock than old celerons and P4's!

Before this last upgrade I had an E2200 dual core OC'ed to 2.86ghz. It ran regular DVD with Natural motion at about 40% on both cores.

So ain't no way that an E1200, even with OCing, can do it.

Blu-ray has the advantage of being able to use hardware acceleration, so it actually has a lower cpu use. At least that has been my experience.

Vid card should be at least 8600, but those are cheap these days.

Think 2gb memory.

If you try to cut corners, you will get choppy video and will have wasted your $. Whatever you get, make sure it is easily upgradeable - most whole bought systems are NOT - they cut many corners to give you a low price.
