littleleper Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Im trying to get .avi movies (as in full length films, not 15 second clips) to play on a computer running windows 95(4.00.950a). It has 16 mbs of RAM and a 150 Mhz processor. Is this even possible. I've already tried using divx 3.11 and WMP 6.4 which says a working decompressor cannot be found. Is there some other media player which will work with my system or something else I could try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 It'll depend on the clip resolution, but if you're after full screen I doubt the systems up to it unless you've got a pretty good graphics card that'll take the load off the CPU.You could try VLC player but I'm not sure it would work.

-pops- Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I don't think you will have much success. I recall a time when W95 was the latest operating system and computer movies/videos were things to be wondered at but almost impossible to achieve.I honestly don't think it's worthwhile pursuing this.
