I just found out a near perfect solution for any netbook, even for those with just 1,6GHz Intel Atom processor and Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express...

Awesome. I have a low end Toshiba laptop running on AMD 2-core CPU. It could barely play 720p back (plays well the first 5 minutes then the CPU heats up and slow up tremendously). Installing the new codec and media player classic, I have no problem with cpu and the heat problem.

do you have any issues with subtitles?

had to register to say thanks!

This workaround is amazing. I've been trying to get 720p video to play on my netbook for over a year and nothing has worked. Thanks very much for sharing this.

Has anyone a solution for 720p on hackintosh (no Win, virtual OS)?
