Re: speed-up playing xvid movies

Thank your for your compete description, my computer is an old PC, it
is a PII - 333mhz.
you are right, i am using my customized player from DirectShowLib and
my problem is Frame-Skipping, i think that i have to upgrade my PC.
One another question:
Can i embed xvid-vfw setup into my app setup?, i want to automatically
install xvid-vfw from my app setup instead of manually right clicking
on xvidvfw.inf and selecting install.

Best regards,
Saied Javadi.
