Hi

Anyone got any ideas how to get a Divx movie working at decent speeds
with no slow down over a wifi network?

Its 11Meg, and runs at about 400-500k a second. Over a standard
network wire it all works fine at around 150-200k, but wifi it stops
when the screen moves around a lot, explosions etc.

Any ideas how to get it more stable.

Thanks.

Rich

Try defragging your hard drive... that may help. However, most likely the
only thing you can do is to upgrade to Wireless G. I've found 802.11b to be
too slow to run streaming video reliably.

Just remember, 802.11b may advertise 11mbit/s, but in reality it only runs
at about 5mbit/s - 6mbit/s... and that speed is shared by all the users of
the access point.

Hi

It can't be a speed issue as I can copy and paste a file over the
network at 400-500k a second. The problem seems to be when I try and
play the files over the network the speed drops down to the 150-200k

Tried defragging and still the same.

There must be some media player that can get the source at 400-500k
like windows explorer but start playing it during the transfer?

Thanks.

What bitrate are these files encoded at? What is the size of the file and
what is the length of the movie?

Use VLC (http://www.videolan.org/) to stream it at higher compression.

Try decoding at a lower resolution and see if that helps increase the framerate.
