Low power Media Player + Codecs

Conrad11 · 18 Jan 2008 at 22:02

Hi there,

I need a low power media player + codecs solution for my low powered machine.

Just need something to be able to play divx, xvid, ac3, mp3, dvd with as few cpu cycles as possible.

Media player doesn't need any features, but needs to do be able to play the above.

I have been looking at VLC player - looks pretty decent for cpu usage, but wondered if there was anything better? (lower cpu requirement)

What do you recommend?

Thanks.

Is this codec pack cpu intensive? How does it compare to VLC?

Well i want to create a front end for a low end player, so i need most of the cpu cycles for the front end.

I am running a 1Ghz Mini Itx system.
