WMP 11 Vs iTunes + QuickTime

[goobimama]

Yup, since ages. You just need a graphics card with PureVideo HD or Avivo Support.

No you can't. This just shows that you speak without knowing anything....at least some times...

I would do the quote-reply thing, but I'm just too lazy to do that....I still stand by my points though.

WMP will decode any Video stream in hardware if

1) Decoder supports hardware acceleration
2) Graphics card supports hardware acceleration
3) U got proper drivers installed.

If you decode X264 using Cyberlink decoder then there is no reason to believe that it is not being decoded without hardware acceleration.

Plz copy paste from somewhere.

 

[goobimama]

Tell me how do I use Cyberlink's decoder with WMP? I can't copy paste that cause its not possible to use Cyberlink's decoder with WMP. If its possible, let me know....

Lolz....u really don't have any idea how to work on Windows.

I don't know what codecs u have installed, so here is my recomendation

1) Uninstall all 3rd party media player & Codec packs

2) Install latest driver for your gfx card.

3) Install Cyberlink PowerDVD

4) Install K-Lite codec pack & install FFDshow for decoding XVid & DivX etc. Thats it.

5) Install those encoders which u might need.

Done.

I have PowerDVD installed & enabled Hardware acceleration in PowerDVD. Now if you play a DVD or anything in WMP which Cyberlink decoders can decode then it will decode with hardware acceleration for videos.

Now try yourself, i m going to sleep...fever is coming again.

^you are indeed crazy.

Take care though. We need you here at the forum....
I've just about recovered from a fever.... glad to be rid of it.

You did not say whether he is right or wrong.

If you like you can change the audio engine of WMP with Orban or Thompson Multimedia or FFDShow compleately & use whatever settings u like. Just cos U don't know how to use WMP doesn't means it sux.



WMP library is as simple as it gets. Apple ripped the Album List view of WMP11 when it was released in beta. What do u find confusing about WMP11's Library?



Yup, since ages. You just need a graphics card with PureVideo HD or Avivo Support.



Did you tried installing simply FFDshow?



This wasen't possible despite of Cyberlink? U must be joking...u sure u enabled multi channel audio support in WMP11?

i kno hw 2 use it..... tats why im sayin so..... d frst thing is dat evry user shud b able to get d best quality w/o any modification.....tats wat i was sayin..... udont hav 2 modify vlc or winamp 2 get better sound.... whereas wmp is to b modified..... i was talkin bout sound only...

Anyone who says anything against Microsoft software does not know how to use it. This is a rule, OK? Now remember that.

 

[raina_rocks]

microsoft......... huh......... chor tha hai aur rahega.....

 

[goobimama]

There's are some times when you are absolutely sure about some thing. Those are times when no authority can break your opinion because you know you are right. This is one of those times for me. I know I am right and gx is wrong. But then again, if I put gx's law (read aayush's post above) into practice, I have no idea how to use Windows....

microsoft......... huh......... chor tha hai aur rahega.....

tere ghar pe daka dala tha kya ya tera purse mara tha kya .... fukat maal use kar raha hai aur doosre ko chor bolta hai

@arya and any1 who says anything against apple is jealous

u dont hav 2 modify vlc or winamp 2 get better sound.... whereas wmp is to b modified..... i was talkin bout sound only...

The default sound engine of WMP is quite good, its your own personal subjective choice that u don't like it. You cannot change the default sound engine of Winamp or VLC, can u? But you can do that in WMP.

I know that feeling quite well.

Yeah, that pretty much sums up Microsoft's software policy. Give crap by default and expect the user to fix it himself. And you keep taunting it as if it is a good thing.

(I don't, however, have any complaints about the sound engine or locomotive engine or whatever of WMP!)

I am asking u & raina both, what is it that U miss in the sound engine of WMP? Its based on codecs, so if u don't like the default decoder then switch to some other decoder, simple. There is nothing like "crap & befault" here.

if you are using Cyberlink Decoders in WMP with nVidia card with Purevideo HD decoders also installed then it does hardware accelerated H.264 if your gfx card is GeForce 6 or 7

With every post, your conditions keep piling on. The first post was something like, "you are wrong, it works", then "it works if you do this", and after that "it sort of works if you do this and then try this one" and it goes on...

Nothing. Which isn't surprising because the last time I used it was about a year ago and never found it lacking for my needs. Which is why I mentioned in my previous post, "I don't, however, have any complaints about the sound engine or locomotive engine or whatever of WMP!"

Its all about choices. You can change the engine of WMP if you want to, the default engine is good enough though. Competitive products do not give such options. Thats all I was saying.

 

[goobimama]

I'm just telling you its not possible.

 

[summit.nayak]

Is this one also going to be like the Mac OS X vs Vista thread?

 

[iMav]

its an offshoot of that thread ...

For Windows I still prefer the WMP 11. It is 'smoother', has automatic folder monitoring, good feature set and sync tools as compared to Apple iTunes which feels too propreitary.
