Try downloading the movie to your computer and watching it locally. Sometimes choppiness occurs when we can't stream it to you quickly enough (because your connection is slow or our servers are overloaded). If you're watching an MPEG-4 that we derived from an original MPEG-2, we first reduce its size to 320 x 240 - a quarter of the resolution of NTSC video. We then translate it at 350 kbps, which is really borderline for that resolution.

The most likely explanation is that you have rendered the movie at a higher resolution than your computer can play back with the QuickTime compressor (codec) with which the movie was rendered. Keep in mind that full-motion video at broadcast resolution can not be played back by most computers unless it was rendered with a QuickTime compressor designed for computer play back. Please see the "QuickTime Addendum" chapter of the documentation which discusses these issues in detail.

Try using gmplayer or xine, if neither of those can play the type of codec, then try xanim. Due to the proprietary nature of codecs, some codecs may not be supported.

For both Gold Medal Math and Roller Typing you need at least 16 MB of RAM. GeoCycle USA requires a minimum of 32 MB. The more RAM you have the better the programs will run. To check how much RAM you have for your Macintosh, go to the upper left of the screen where the apple icon is and select About This Computer. See how much Built in Memory there is.

DWW videos come in high quality media files. Using a PC that meets the minimum requirements, you should be able to playback all movies full screen. If you do not routinely defragment your hard drive, you may experience performance problems resulting in choppy playback. It is always good practice routinely to defragment your hard drive. Be sure to use an AntiVirus program and only install programs from reputable suppliers.

If your FPS count drops below 10, your video playback will be noticeably choppy. It takes a lot of processing power to play video on a personal computer. There are some factors might be the causes to slow video playback:

No. Most modern pinball machines have a "free play" function that allows the game to be played our more "enterprising" customers have actually paid for their game in just a year or so by

If you are sure the choppiness is not due to limitations of your graphics hardware or CPU, it may be that your network connection is giving you trouble. Enable the lagometer: Here's how it works. The upper graph (with either blue or yellow triangles) shows how Quake 3 is rendering (network) frames. If everything is going smoothly, it will show consistently sized blue triangles. That means frames are being drawn nicely in sync with the net information.

A non-Hi-MD machine can read neither the 1GB Hi-MD media nor an original Minidisc reformatted in Hi-MD format. The result depends upon which of these two are used: If std-MD media reformatted to Hi-MD is inserted, a std-MD unit will display "Hi-MD Disc" as the disk title. It will show two tracks, both tracks are named "Hi-MD Disc" with track-1 in mono, track-2 in LP4. Neither track will play (there is silence and the time counter doesn't show anything).

No. All of our machines are set to operate on free play. There is also the option to insert coins to play the game. On some electronic machines an additional switch will be fitted to enable you to add credits as these games didn't have a free play option as standard.

The same video and audio codecs are required to play the AVI files back on a different machine. The reason for this being that the file needs to be decompressed "on the fly" before the frames can be shown. Windows includes a set of simple codecs, you can find more information at www.fourcc.org (formerly http://www.webartz.com/fourcc/ ). Using AVIedit, you can create animations in a form of animated GIF files, or FLI/FLC movies, to avoid possible "missing codec" problem.

Yes, Digital Media Productions accepts .mpeg and .avi video files for use in your wedding video montage production. Please have your video output to a .mpeg or .avi file format and burnt to a CD.

Likely Problem is 2 sound Devices in the system: Your sound system may have two sound Devices installed on your machine which are conflicting with each other. Simply open your Control Panel then click on "Sounds & Audio Device Properties" then select the "Audio" tab then look carefully under "Sound Playback->Default Device" Check and see if there is more than one Device available.

NOTE RedHat 8.0 (might apply to newer kernels in other RH versions also): In all their wisdom, the people at redhat decided to turn off DMA for CD and DVD devices NOTE SuSE 8.2 In some cases DMA defaults to off in SuSE 8.2 to enable DMA, open Control Center, switch to Yast2-modules, then to System and open the editor for /etc/sysconfig. Under Hardware--IDE modify the option DEVICES_FORCE_IDE_DMA, in my case for all 4 drives: /dev/hda:on /dev/hdb:on /dev/hdc:on /dev/hdd:on end NOTE SuSE 8.

There are many factors that are involved in a VoIP call. The most important factors are a fast Internet connection and a good headset or speakers/mic in case of PC2Phone. The performance of the call may also be affected by having many internet applications running on your PC which will use up much of your connection band width. Try shutting down some of these applications during your call and for best quality a DSL DATA connection is preferred.

Many of the DVDs NoirDame sells are transferred, and duplicated on DVD-R, from original master tapes, kinescopes and other archived media. They are all encoded in NTSC standard (US, Mexico, Japan, Canada) but can be read on multi-system machines (which read PAL, NTSC, SECAM standard discs). Almost all NTSC DVD players work with DVD-R: all computers with DVD drives can play DVD-R, and most tabletop players are able to play DVD-R.

Your LAN router needs to be configured with port forwarding to send relevant data coming back into your LAN from the internet, to the correct computer. This requires the IP address of that machine to be entered on your router configuration. Only one IP address can be entered for port forwarding, so only one machine can have this set up. Therefore, you can only play on internet using one machine on a LAN at a time.
