i was wondering if there are any other programs i could use instead or anything that can help

im running 2gb of ram and 2.8ghz AMD processor so im not sure if ive not got enough power


any help, links or suggestions are welcome!!
Is that the whole series? As i recorded it off BBC HD and totals 110GB. It may have been recompressed. Don't bother using VLC, i've never managed to get it to play anything from BBC HD properly with it. I purchased a codec called CoreAVC which i use on media player classic and can play HD video very nicely.

Is the CPU a dual core processor? Even a low end AMD dual core can decode h.264 HD video easily with CoreAVC.
