I now have enough bandwidth to download video files. Big ones. Bwahahaha.

Disk space a little bit of a problem, but can be overcome.

Try to view them. I prefer Media Player, well - because. At home, I am at the mercy of Windows98. Nothing in the house is big enough to run anything newer.

Media Player chokes on them. No problem, I'll just upgrade it - add codecs, all should be fine...wait a minute.

The newest version of Media Player for Win98 requires a processor capable of over 233Mhz -

As a minimum. It prefers something over 500.

This is a Pentium Pro 200Mhz machine. To date, it has run everything I could ask for without being able to do anything graphic intensive - which would require a much bigger machine all around. And more hardware.

I have the highest version of Media Player this machine will run. And it doesn't work.

*bangs head against wall*

If anyone has any suggestions as to why an .avi file plays like a slideshow with perfect audio, let me know.

And Buddy Hackett is now gone. Aw, crap.

Yeah, sorry - the likelyhood of decoding divx or any other mpeg4 codec on a P200 is slim at best, impossible at worst.

It's requires a lot of cpu work - I remember having troubles on a 600Mhz machine in the early days of divx.

It's just not going to cut it, I'm afraid.

I remember getting that odd divx Odorikuruu used to work on this machine - wonder what happened to it.
