Ok, I am trying to watch Elfen Lied, but it seems my computer can't handle it. I have a 2.93 Celeron CPU with 760MB of ram, and that should be enough. This has happened with a few other anime I tried to watch, such as Sunabouzu and Stellvia, and I had to convert them to watch. However, I would like to be able to just watch them because it takes over an hour just to converte them. I have tried many different players, to no aval. Later tonight I will try to use Barts PE live disk and see if it works with that, but if not....
So, my question: Is there any players that would help me out, or maybe a PCI card that has H.264 on card H.264 decoding that I could get cheapish?

you are, but once people get to know you, a smile

I tried that, and it played, but with the stuttering still.

have you tried mplayer? I've had good success playing stuff with that as well as vlc. I'm going to go ahead and look some stuff up now.
edit:
Mplayer Gui link : http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/...-1.0rc2-gui.zip
Also when your playing the video, what's your cpu level at ctr+alt+del and check the level in taskmanager.
You may want to try installing ffdshow to decode the video.

Try media player classic as well when using ffdshow:

Hopefully one of those will help out.

HAHA, tried all that. None worked with windows. So I went and got a dual boot with a Linux/mplayer distro called geexbox.
I got geexbox with all the extra codex's on my external harddrive. Plays all videos like a dream. Not an ideal solution, what with having to restart just to check out something online, or what not, but still. Plus the bonus fact of always having a good player on any computer I hook my drive to.
I just went through a geek phase and watched all Elfen Lied. Good series, needs another OVA. Now I have to go check for some manga volumes, see if it continues from where the TV show left off.

Elfen Lied didn't grab Naru in the first
couple of minutes Naru looked at it.
Maybe Naru can give it another try.
Anime isn't quite as cool as it was in
the late 80's and early 90's.
There's still some good stuff
just not as good.
Could be Naru's just getting old.

I know, I am intending on doing that in a week or so. Till then geexbox is good enough for me.

have you heard of nlite? you can use it to get rid of a lot of the useless stuff in xp and make it run a lot faster. I've got an nlite xp install running on my eee pc. It's pretty plain and simple, but it runs fast. It'll boot up in about 20 sec and that's on a 900mhz processor factory underclocked at 630mhz.

Nope, but I am going to get it now! I seem to have lost my windows install disk, so I have to use the oem restore program. 3.xx gigs of crap in it.
