I am assuming that you are talking about MPEG 1. This is a combined problem
of the number of pixels encoded (you do not say), PC (RAM, clock speed, and
even perhaps hard drive speed) AND the software decoder. Some decoders work
better than others on less powerful machines.

I have gotten nice results for MPEG 1 encoded at 320 x 240, 30 fps, using
Windows Media Player on a PC with 64 MB running at 200MHz.

Cheers,

Hi,

I have encoded VHS video into MPG on a Pentium 3 (500 MHz/128MB) computer
and the playback was good. However, when I play the mpg video on a Pentium
(200MHz/48MB) computer, the playback lost a lot of frames. Can somebody tell
me if this is the problem of the encoding of the video clip or the problem
of the decoding (playback)?
How can this problem be solved.

Peter
