Video playback in WMC 7 choppy & out of sync
Hi all,
I recently built a windows 7 professional x64 htpc and I'm running into a peculiar issue with video playback. I've also installed all the windows updates.
I have a bunch of "home movies" in avi format that play perfectly when I launch them in Windows Media Player. The video plays smoothly and the audio/video are perfectly in sync.
When I attempt to view the same movie in WMC native video library or using Media Browser, the video is seems to play slowly, then quickly speeds up to catch up. It's kind of choppy or jerky. Also, the audio goes out of sync almost instantly.
I've tried installing Shark 007's codec's with the default settings and the issue happens with or without it. Also, I've watched the CPU usage when watching the video in WMC and it never goes above 5%.
I've been able to watch numerous avi files (both my own and downloaded) without problems when I launch them in WMP. I'm also able to watch DVD's and Blu Ray using TMT 5 without any issues at all.
I've spent the better part of the last two days going through any/every post I could find that even sounds remotely similar and nothing is working.
Anyone have any ideas?
