OkayI have an ancient toaster that's 15 years old now. I can do some web browsing but stuff like YouTube struggles. I can watch 480p on YouTube. Anyway,someone please tell me what kind of videos I should download for watching movies.1080p anything is no go most of the time. I can handle some 720p videos if they are like divx. Divx movies play well for me. Other than divx, what else? A lot of mkv videos make my computer shit itself and struggle to not crash. Nevermind watching it
>>107608756what gpu? there's lists that show which gpu's have hardware acceleration for which codecs. for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video#Hardware_decoding_and_encoding
Help pleaseThe world is moving past me and I'm getting cut off. Before everything was 1080p at a minimum I could play almost every video I downloaded. It's not like that anymore

>>107608756>>107608842Have you tried:https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/h264ify/aleakchihdccplidncghkekgioiakgal?hl=enhttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/h264ify/
>>107608854That's just for YouTube of course but HD 3000 does support H.264.
>>107608854>>107608866I think h265 videos are worse for me than divx. For me, the mark of divx tells me I can watch a video without it being a slide show
>>107608756use ikatube (youtube client)
>>107608756get dvd rips from zamunda/rutracker
>>107608756I would say that converting them is the next best thing, but that would be a Herculean task if this is your only machine. Older series are usually around 480p, so maybe look around there, too.
>>107608886Okay thanks. This is quickBut this only helps with Youtube. I like to download full movies and shows. What codecs can I download besides divx?
>>107608923No idea honestly, but if you're on a desktop try getting a budget gpu just to ensure that you can watch videos with more recent codecs.
>>107608880Yeah, you don't have H.265 support, only H.264.
>>107608756Windows? Linux? You should have no problems with .mp4 and .mkv files using older codecs like: >>107608965
>>107608842>Intel HD Graphics 3000you're completely bullshitting. this graphics can play any youtube video just fine at your screen's native resolution.
>>107608756i hope you're on linux and not winjeet or itoddler shit.i have no problem playing 1080p youtube on my ancient netbook with fedora on it.
>>107609311He's probably got it set to the default vp9 or av1 and has an ass sku cpu. though my 2008 t400 with a core2duo can play 1080p vp9 youtube fine, even low complexity 1080p24 av1 plays alright. this is using mpv on linux however. the youtube website is slower than playing the videos. i prefer youtube-local over the official website, uses a ton less ram, too
>>107608756You basically need h264. Even 720p will be watchable on that since even ancient laptops have support for it
