Foobar2000, VLC, Winamp?

VLC is not good for me.
Winamp is for mp3/audio AFAIK
Do not know foobar2000. Can it run mp4 enjoying some kind of hardware acceleration from gpu?

Try the Windows 98 build of MPlayer, or the "generic" build if running Windows XP. Older video cards might require 16-bit colour and/or the -vo directx command-line switch for optimal performance.

For DVDs "WinDVD 4" runs quite well on K6-2+ / III+ systems.

Nope - only hardware decoders (REAL Magic X card PCI or CrystalHD mini-pci) can help

Let’s assume it can be done, my question is which program can do this without SSE?
That is what I am asking.

libav and ffmpeg based stuff, maybe with compile flags off? Getting away from directshow might be the only way to get newer code, which stands to be faster.

I get surprisingly good performance from a core2duo running MPV from deb-multimedia, on Debian. 1080p h264 is nearly all fine, just the odd scene that slows down. But a SS7? I guess MPEG2 at DVD levels might be possible with good software, otherwise it'd have to be the pirate style of the time: 1/4 DVD size, as a DivX.

Otherwise, there is no insane graphics card that can help? Though the Radeon in the machine mentioned above has worse h264 decoding than in software.

X card tested with standart Windows Media Player (non-Classic) and Xmedia player.

Mplayer was a no go.
I think I will post on video subsection.

Mplayer works well, i have 3dnow version of it, maybe it needed dx9 or two files from dx9, I can share it later today or tomorrow.

I have dx9.0c installed, tried the generic (486) version of Mplayer and crashed on startup.
Tried smplayer also, ti have a gui, same.

There are many players that work for AMD K6-II and K6-III for Dos/Win9x, for DVD i use ATiDVD 3.2 (Rage Pro/Rage128Pro). Mplayer should also support DVD, can someone help how to use mpf or mplayer without frontend for DVD, then i can uninstall ATiDVD. Added my old mplayer-k6.zip.

I have used mpf with this mplayer version (3dnow support).

Seriously...?

Yes was taken down. He left out the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE text file so the bots figured it was not open source (which it is)
His post is MPC-HC v1.9.13.x86. You can get it from videohelp in the old versions...suggest you get the zip version.
Not sure how it will work with a K6-2 since it requires SSE2 iirc. added: the original dev page: https://mpc-hc.org/

Foobar2000 is awesome! I still use it to this day.

I went ahead and actually tested the two MPlayer builds. Indeed, the "generic" build crashes on a K6-2; however, the Windows 98 build seems to work. It will run on Windows 2000/XP as long as the included psapi.dll file is renamed.
