Hi, I'm looking for some help and advice. I used to be able to these watch .wmv files without problems, using the 128 Mb video card which I had installed on my old motherboard. I recently got a new motherboard, which had a 64Mb on-board video card. Recently, when I tried to view the same files, the video would stutter every couple of seconds or so, resuming not from the point at which the video freezes, but at the point to which the length of the 'stutter' would take the clip. Purchased a new video card - ATI Raedon RX2600Pro, 256Mb DDR2 - and I am still encountering the same problem. What I also think is worth mentioning, is that when I was able to view the files smoothly whilst using my old motherboard, I had the sam amount of RAM (1gB) but this RAM was not as fast as the RAM I now have on the new motherboard, which is 1Gb DDR2 - and the processor, whilst around the same frequency as my current newer one, was NOT dual core - my current processor IS a dual core model. Here is technical info on the clip from the G-Spot program: Size: 459 MB File Type: ASF (.WMA/.WMV) File length: Correct Sys Bitrate: 8191 kb/s sar 1.778 (16:9) Codec: WMV3 Name:WMP v9 (VC-1 Simple/Main) Status: Codec Status Undetermined Resolution: 1920 x 1080 My sustem information: WinXP SP3 AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800+ 1Gb DDR2 RAM Video Card Raedon RX2600PRO If you've got this far, thanks for taking the time to read - any help at all would be much appreciated!
Check the cpu utilization in Task Manager during the playback. Is it close to 100 % ? Look at the process tab. What is using all the cpu?
Hi Davexnet, thanks for your reply. Will check task manager during playback for cpu usage when I get home, as I'm reading this from work just now. I've also posted here, in case you see any replies that might help: http://forum.videohelp.com/topic355870.html#1882689 Thanks again for your reply Davexnet.
