Stuttering mpg video playback on WMP
Some of my .mpg videos periodically stutter during playback on 64-bit Win7 if played through WMP 12.0.7600.16415. If played back through VLC 1.0.3 the problem doesn't happen.
Problem happens whether in full-screen or windowed mode. The stutter points are consistent and reproducible -- happens at the same place in the video each time. Doesn't happen with all mpg videos, only some.
There's nothing else running on the machine. Perfmon shows almost no CPU activity on all cores, and no significant disk or network I/O.
Video: EVGA GTX-275, latest nVidia 8.17.11.9562 drivers. CPU: i7-860 @ 3.78Ghz. Disk: WD Velociraptor 300GB SATA.
The same mpg videos play fine on a lesser-powered XP machine (2.4Ghz Core 2 Quad Q6600) through WMP 11.0.5721.5268.
