So,
I am finally trying to make the switch over to h.24 and know its an upgraded audio video encoding schema which is a major jump up from its brother H.261 and the subsidaries (I cant recall them right)
But I guess I just do not know how the heck I am supposed to get h.24 running on my computer (tried with GOM and vlc with mixed results)
I am wondering then, do you need a 64 bit processor or if any, what kind of hardware or even software would be needed? Any help or even a rundown more on h.264 would be appreciated. I still watch my vids in .avi afterall
what is h.24? and why aren't you using mplayer?
VLC is actually by far one of the more horrible video players.
I recommend you just uninstall all codecs you got, then google for CCCP and install that, it's pretty much all codecs in one package to work with media player classic. Works better then VLC.
Only thing that package doesn't cover is real player crap. Real player is horrible quality and low resolution anyway, only chinese ppl use em nowadays.
No, you don't need to go 64-bit to play or encode H.264. (which is only for video, not audio if you want to be pedantic)
I can even play some H.264 encoded files on an old Pentium III here (Unix, mplayer). I guess any CPU sold in the last 2 years or so should be able to handle it as long as you don't need to play extremely high resolution files. But I dunno.
Don't know what players are good on Windows nowadays but mplayer, VLC and MP Classic have worked for me in the past.
