Choppy video playback in Windows Media Center (Windows 7) WTV

I recently experienced a video playback jerky with windows media center.  Sometimes the recorded TV (WTV format) play very well for about 2-3 minutes until the video playback is very jerky (probably about 5 to 10 frames per second instead of the usual 30-60 fps).  The audio is not again normally.  Windows Movie maker also plays choppy video (Windows Media Player seems to work very well).  The main menu of Windows Media Center, itself becomes generally restless slow when I'm scrolling autour options, even when there is no video game in the background.  Video streaming on the Internet and DVD seems to play fine on Windows Media Center, and I can even stream HD video without problem.  I also know that this isn't a problem receiving the TV tuner since I test with the video recorded previously.  I bought my computer in June 2009 with Windows Vista and upgrade to Windows 7 a few months later.  Everything worked perfectly well until recently.

I tried to update my video card drivers, reallocation of Windows Media Center to a task of "high priority" to improve performance, the RAM Cache to improve the performance, my graphics card setting to low quality setting to have superior performance to compensation.  I even tried to reinstall Windows Media Center, reinstall Windows Media Player and the restoration of my entire computer to a State a few months in the past where the problem was not intervened.  The memory usage seems OK too (I have 6 GB).  Basically, I don't think that the issue is performance related.  I'm guessing that there is some little conflict, pilot program, codec, etc., which is originally the video playback to go bad after a few minutes.  Any thoughts?

Here is some info on my Page "system information":

For what it's worth, I was faced with the problem of stuttering for always (continuously from a WHS for a HP Media Center Extender) and had tried all of the recommended patches (updates driver, network card settings tweaking, etc..)  Nothing helps.  Last week my router died (Netgear WNDR3700, who was the State of the art when I bought it a year ago).  I replaced it with an old but unboxed Linksys WRT320N and stuttering all my problems disappeared.

    I usually use other media players, but I would like to first of all using Windows Media Center.

  • Windows 7 64 bit, new facility - choppy video playback

    I have a quad core Intel I7 HP laptop with 8 GB of RAM, 160 GB of free disk space. ATI Radeon 5600HD graphics card, the latest video drivers ATI, all updates for HP laptop, including the BIOS. The machine should be able to play videos and do a Skype video chat. But in both cases, the video is choppy and not really usable.

    I've been to all updates installed, SP1 for Windows 7, the software I use, etc, etc, etc, so I can't go back to previous restore points, at least that would make a difference.

    I just watched a WMV video that I downloaded (not heard), Channel 9, and it was awful to watch. The video stops but the sound would continue, finally all caught up. But then it would start all over again.

    Video of Skype is similar, the video stops but the sound continues.

    Given that I have the latest video drivers from ATI, and everything else comes from a new facility from 2 days ago. I'd appreciate any help to solve this problem.

    Thank you

    All companies (Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba etc.) put things on their systems.

    This is one of the reasons why I build my own desktop computers. I can put what I want on this subject, NOT what they think I need.

    No wonder so many of them have probs. It's the stuff they install on it.

  • I have a problem with the choppy video playback.

    I recently bought a surface of windows. When I play the movies from my hard drive, playback is choppy, although there is no problem with the sound. Is this a setting problem or software? The files are AvI, which should be compatible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, Bertie,.

    1. what video player do you use? Have you tried another?

    2. do you have all the updates of Windows and Windows Store on the device?

    This problem can be caused if the video driver is outdated.

    You can check the link and follow the steps in the Microsoft KB article and check if it solves the problem.

  • Inroom Pro A300 - 2 3 PSAG9E - choppy video playback, CPU at 100% of fortification

    Hello

    I have problems with my Toshiba laptop for a week about playback of AVI files. This happens both WMP and VLC, so I'm sure it is impossible either of those.

    I checked my laptop computer for viruses, spyware and malware and found nothing. I've been to Microsoft XP support forums and asked for help with the XP operating system, they advised a few tweaks, but this fortification of 100% during playback of AVI files has not changed.

    Then I came here, updated various things like BIOS and the problem persists. I don't know what I can do apart from disabling the services to see what is happening.

    I'd rather not do something as no scientist, so I was wondering if someone could give advice on how to improve it, or ideally, remedy, this very difficult problem which seems unrelated to automatic updates of Windows (wuauclt), .NET Framework (not installed), DivX (not installed), XviD (not installed), Flash Player (not installed) and also VLC/WMP.

    Any help and advice would be appreciated very much. Thank you in advance for your suggestions of what services I would be OK to disable on the model of the A300 - 2 3 PSAG9E.

    Have you noticed that ONLY play avi videos?
    Is this happen is playing a DVD movie of the video of the internet platform of streaming like youtube, etc.?

    I think that it of difficult to say what cause this usually you should check the background processes in msconfig while playing the avi file.

    Then you should see what process requires the performance of the 100% CPU.
    After that you could disable this process and could start the movie
