I'm running VLC for XP on Win98se
This is interesting. I installed VLC 2.0.5 (32 bit) [from 2012] on
Windows 98se, and it works perfectly. This version is listed for XP and higher. It's not even supposed to work on Win 2000. The last version intended for Win98 was ver 1.0.2 from 2009. I wonder how this can be???? |

I've been running VLC 2.x.y on my win-98 systems for years. On the system I'm typing this on I have version 2.0.8. I wonder how this can be???? You have KernelEx installed? That's how. Yes I do have KernelEx installed. So I can go to 2.0.8. I tried 2.1.5 but it would not install. Im typing this on 98se. Thats all I use! |

It installed ok, but it will not show videos, all I get is the audio. I just removed it and went back to 2.0.5. That does everything I need anyhow. |

There is a popular codec package (K-lite) that I've installed on my win-98 systems. I don't know if it is needed for VLC 2.0.8 to display video on win-98, but I know many people running XP and higher seem to want or need that codec package for one reason or another. Also note that MediaPlayer Classic is another video player that runs on win-98 (I have version 6.4.8.2) and I find that for 720p and higher video's that it seems to render video smoother (no or fewer dropped frames) compared to VLC. I have K-lite installed. Media Player Classic is what I have used for years. It's always worked very well. I installed VLC because it has the ability to extract audio s from videos and make MP3 songs for my MP3 player. I have seen VLC skip frames and have delays compared to MPC. Most of that occurs if I'm loading web pages at the same time, or copying files. But this computer is 15 years old, and although I have installed the maximum RAM allowed and have everything set to the limits, the CPU can only handle so much. One of these days I need to find a newer and faster computer, which will still run 98. I do have a much newer computer, but there are no drivers for W98 available. I only use it as a storage machine, with XP installed. I'm no fan of XP, but for a storage machine it works, and I could not use that 750gb hard drive on W98 anyhow. |
