WHEN playback begins, the CPU MUST PROCESS that file as it is compressed data. It really is THAT SIMPLE.

These are video files downloadable from the web (like a news clip). I don't expect you to understand since you never visit the web. > What you guys are talking about is a sequential process. No. We are talking about a FIFO buffered stream off the web or other source that is in compressed form as ALL video streams in the digital realm are these days. THAT stream MUST be processed to be rendered. YOU need to get that simple fact through your thick skull. >It doesn't matter when the bits are created on your system as >long as they are sequential. You're an idiot. Getting the file can have interruptions. Playing the file back CANNOT. Get a clue. ><snip--you just can't stop being a snot, can you?> If I am snot, you are most assuredly feces.

You are absolutely an idiot (strike one). It absolutely does not send it directly to the video card (strike two). The discussion was absolutely not about how the stream gets buffered (strike three). It absolutely has everything to do with time slices ( a bonus strike!). You are batting better than 1000.

CAD, EDA, Business computing, document authoring and processing, scientific processing, protein folding, email personal communications, job hunting, retail business outlet. They are quite diverse. You, on the other hand... I think you got all senile, and it is you that has forgotten. The thing is that you likely know this is true, and that is why you refuse to upgrade, and even attempt to catch up. |
