Video Playing
If you properly encoded and burned your
video files, you should be able to play them on any standalone DVD player.
If you want to play your videos on your PC, Windows Media Player can play
just about any video format. For those looking for the highest
quality playback, this section will cover some of the best video playback
software.
Playing VCD's, SVCD's and DVD's with
Cyberlink PowerDVD XP
PowerDVD is one of the better video playback
applications available. It has excellent navigation controls and has
numerous customizable video/audio controls that can
deliver the highest quality viewing and listening experience.
Hardware Acceleration can be enabled to have
the DVD decoding process be primarily handled by your video card.
This will result in smoother playback and low CPU resources.
You must have a video card that supports or has advanced video
acceleration functions.
A variety of audio configuration options are
available delivering the highest quality audio playback possible.
Playing Divx files on your PC.
What is Divx?
Divx is a new high quality digital video
format. It is based on the MPEG4 compression which can reduce a DVD
quality MPEG2 video to approximately 8% of its original size.
In order to play Divx files on your PC, you
will need the codecs which we have provided links to in the encoding
section of this guide.
With the proper codec installed, you should
be able to play these files with Windows Media Player. A great
alternative however, is the Vidomi player which we looked at earlier in
the video encoding section of this guide.
This concludes the Extreme Guide to Video
Capture and Editing. We hope that you have found it useful. If
you have any questions or comments, feel free to discuss them in our
forums
here.
Enjoy and happy editing! :)
