Playing Full HD content

[Sphero]

Hi noticed there are already a few topics about playing HD content on a Fit PC 2, but it didn't help me.

At work we ordered a few Fit PC 2 (1.6 Ghz) and I was very curious about the performance as HTPC. I have a few players at home which consumes a lot of power and this might a good replacement.

So I took a Fit PC, I installed Windows XP, Klite Codec packs (default installation) and played this movie: http://orange.blender.org/download (815 mb).
The result was terrible. The movie played, but the CPU jumped to 80 - 90% and the video quality is very poor (it seems the movie is playing in slow-motion).

I tested the movie on my HTPC (AMD 4850e, Gigabyte motherboard with a Integrated ATI HD3200 and 2 GB of memory) and it ran just fine.

Any idea if it is possible to play such movies on the Fit PC, or isn't it strong enough yet?

You were playing without HW acceleration so results are terrible. If you order fit-PC2 XP HD you receive it with special DXVA codecs by CyberLink that will play smoothly at 15%-20% CPU.

Hmm strange,

I noticed the Cyberlink codecs are present on the system (PowerDVD 8.0 SE), but the buttom of the case says: FITPC2-C1600-H-W.

I'm not sure it's capable of playing full HD in good quality.

It is, it's just a bit tricky to find the upgrade for CyberLink which ofcourse is needed...

Have a look here:

Good luck!
