    Choppy video playback [mainly in browser Flash player]


    Hey,

    I have a problem. The video playback in browser, every browser, using Flash plugin [e.g. YouTube, Dailymotion, etc.] plays smoothly but freezes for a second or two every once in a while. This happens during full screen playback as well as windowed one.

    I also have a problem getting smooth playback using windowed mode of SubEdit player [I translate stuff so need this player feature, can't replace it for Media Player Classic], even though full screen playback is just fine. Same clips playback perfectly in MPC, VLC and other players. I guess the problem is somehow connected with the player, although my colleagues didn't experience this problem, neither did they experience choppy Flash playback.

    Any ideas? I'm using 190.38_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_english_whql as drivers.

    Hi and welcome to seven forums

    could you open task manager and watch the performance tab while pplaying back something. Let us know what is using the memory and how much ram, and cpu is being used

    Thanks for a quick reply and a warm welcome:)

    While playing Flash player video [YouTube, for testing purposes] 20-35% CPU was on Firefox which also used about 100MB RAM.

    SubEdit takes 20-30% CPU and 20-30MBs of memory. Windowed choppy playback may be the result of uninstalling WMP12 altogether and installing WMP11. That's necessary for SubEdit to work as it's primarly based on WMP 6.4 and it fails to playback video while WMP12 is installed. Still, this doesn't explain why there isn't a smooth playback in browser Flash clips.

    Same problem here.
    It's driving me made.

    I have tried the following

    Players
    - WMP that comes with windows 7
    - Classic media player
    - KMPlayer

    Codecs
    - standard
    - CCCP
    - Sharks007

    Updated Nvidia drivers a few times.

    Basically what happens for all video/audio playback (avi's, movs, youtube, anything, even windows booting has done it I think)

    It happens a lot worse when moving windows round on the other screen (dual screens)
    Audio and video clicks and pauses (millisecond like)

    Makes watching anything on the PC useless.

    A couple of suggestions. remove all the codec packs. Try VLC as a player (it plays most formats without codecs added).

    Also could you fill in your system specs (lower left corner) so we know what ahrdware you have

    If the audio doesn't skip when the video stutters, then you may have described a known problem in FireFox 3.x which is also observed in Vista. However, I haven't seen it in "every browser"; in particular, IE is immune.

    I jumped the gun a little with saying it was fixed.

    It was working fine in both WMP and VLC.

    Tonight its happening in VLC.
    Back to the drawing board.
