I guess I would like to know more about why your computer is too slow
and my old Dell Dimension 4100 (circa 2000?) isn't

I said I won't go into this any more. I meant it. If I could have solved
it,
I would have. You can argue that gravity should be repealed too if you
like... If you really want to agonise over it, the mainboard is Via Epia
MII12000. It's all in one peice, with the full set of Via driver support.
If
you can solve what I cannot, and Via will not, you will likely win some
kind
of industry prize. But let me use it in peace, for what I CAN get out of
it.
This business isn't interesting to me, you've just heard about it and got
puzzled, I've dealt with it for years. I have other things to do instead
of
making it do what it wasn't built capable of doing. I like it because of
what
it CAN do, so I won't go any further on this. I only posted this to tell
you
the exact board. If you want to follow this up you'll have to buy one,
same
as I did, and find out the hard way.

No, that's ok. And we can leave there. :-)



Good.

I keep telling you, it's a mingw compiled program (If you Googled
'mplayer mingw' without quotes, you'd not have failed to find it
immediately). It's not the Gabest-coded one based on M$'s old Mplayer2.

That's the one I was thinking of, once I saw "mplayer" (and not
realizing there are other variations, whilst just glossing over the
mingw bit - sorry about that)


No problem. It confuses me anyway, I just remember it by ningw because the
mingw GCC compiler is used to make the one that I choose to run. It's also
compiled for Cygwin, and I think other compilers might do it for Win32 as
well. It's probably a GNU thing, open source. I got a recent one within the
last couple of weeks. I figured that if that, and the fast minimal MP4/FLV
players can't make a difference here, then I should let the matter rest. I
usually keep mplayer/mencoder around to help with transcoding my way out of
awkward situations like this anyway.
