Yes… I found a free Full HD player that can play my Panasonic HDC-SD700 1920×1080 50p m2ts files smoothly. The great free VLC Media Player cannot play those MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 1080 50p camcorder video files (playback is slow with hang here and there). It only can play smooth up to 25 fps video clips. However, the search is over. I found Splash Lite ~ the ultimate free HD player!

Finally, I found a free remote control application for Windows Mobile. With this tool, you can control your PC with the mobile device. There are a server program for Windows desktop and a client program for Windows Mobile. And connected using WLAN or ActiveSync.
I love new video card driver. I used to update to the latest display driver when it came out. However, most of the enhancements do not support previous generation video card like ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series. Most of the enhancements are focused on current generation ~ ATI Radeon HD 5000 Series.
ATI Catalyst version 10.7 New Features
- ATI Eyefinity – HydraVision enhancements
- Enhanced Pull-down detection
- ATI CrossFireX technology – support for rotated displays
- ATI Radeon GPU acceleration of VLC 1.1.1 Media Player
Only 1 feature applicable on my Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 ~ Enables GPU acceleration of h.264 video content when using the VLC 1.1.1 Media Player – delivering a better user experience by consuming less system resources.
End result… No visible improvement on VLC 1.1.1 Media Player. It is still at 20% CPU processing power on the latest video display driver version 10.7 compare to previous version 10.6. Anyway, it is great upgrade for those uses ATI Eyefinity features…
Download ATI Catalyst version 10.7 here.
VLC Media Player is one of the powerful media player, playing most of the media codecs and video formats out there. I used to use it until I found another media player ~ MPCSTAR that play Real media format video well. Note – VLC only supports Real format partially. Else it will be my perfect media player. (I watch lot of Real media videos)

Yes. I fixed VLC Player block Chinese subtitle srt issue finally. Thanks for my friend, CC. He told me to use another media player ~ MpcStar. MpcStar is a new for me. I am using VLC player to play MKV format video all the while. However, I faced VLC Player block Chinese subtitle srt mkv issue. I cannot enable the Chinese subtitle to work even using UTF-8, GB or BIG5. I gave up in the end. However, my hope to play mkv video with Chinese subtitle show up again after CC told me this MpcStar.
