Do the videos play on the computer without the projector? Any stuttering there?
DirectX is part of Windows. I don't know how to install it and I don't think you need or want to do that.
I also thought you installed a different GPU. Did that make any difference?
I'd like to try some of your videos that I discussed above. I'm not going to distribute them or anything like that. I've downloaded hundreds of videos from people over the years in another forum and don't violate anybody's trust. I delete them after I'm done with them because they clutter up my system and use a lot of space. After I've downloaded them, you could remove the link.
I'm testing the ASUS R5230-SL-2GD3-L GPU for almost 7 days now and heres my report. During the first 3 days of testing I didn't notice any problems but then the stuttering started again.
First it started after 3 hours, the next day after 2 hours and yesterday it started after an hour of playback........ I also rebooted the system when the stuttering was too bad but sadly that didn't help either..
It runs fine but only when you start the video from the beginning and then only for a certain amount of time.
I'm so sick and tired of this crap. I paid almost 2000 Euros for hardware which isn't able to give me a smooth video playback?
I also tested another projector with a different cable and had the same problems. So this can't be the cause. And as I mentioned. An old office PC from 2007 with onboard gpu has absolutley no problems with playing theese files.
I don't know what to do except switching to Windows 10 which would suck because Windows 10 doesn't like my Soundcard. That soundcard is from 2017 and cost me 300 bucks. The producer ESI stopped continuing Soundcards completley and no longer provides driver suppport since 2018. I wrote with the staff of ESI. The reason is Windows 10. They can't fix the problems which W10 causes with it's menatlly ill updates so they quit.
I tried W10 and hate it despite the soundcard issues for a number of other reasons.
An alternative would be to install a second operation System suchs as Linux Mint and run it in a virtual PC. I don't know if that will work. If it is as slow as the remote connection it probebly isn't a good idea for video playback...
@wither2 I highly doubt that my video files are the problem here since it doesn't matter if you play mpeg2, mpeg4, commercial dvd's, blu-rays or 60i and 50i HDTV recordings. It all leads to the same problems. And providing a sample wouldn't help you since you need to play the files in it's entirety. But if you wan't to really give it a try I would have to upload Hulkamania 3 for you. A videocassette from 1987 which features several matches and interviews with Hulk Hogan I digitised in MPEG4 with a resolution of 720x480 and bitrate of 10 000 - 15 000. Plays fine when you burn it to bd-r on any stand alone bd player and also on office PC's which are 11 years old. But for Asus TUF Sabertooth X99 Intel X99 So.2011-3 with Intel Core i7 6800K 6x 3.40GHz
and 32GB DDR4-2400 DIMM it's just too much to ask....................
@F22 Simpilot the videos stutter even more on the regular Computer Monitor than it does on the projector........
Right click on your desktop and select Personalize.
Click on Display
Select Display Settings
Select Advanced Settings
In the Trouble Shoot tab, select Change Settings
In Hardware Acceleration, set it to the lowest value if it's not already.
If it's already at its lowest value, then try setting it to "Full."
Try your video.
dear wither, thanks for your suggestion
sadly the "change settings" button in the Trouble Shoot tab is greyed out so I can't select it :-(
I was looking at the specs for the current card you're using and the only driver I could find is for VGA- 15.201. Which driver are you using?
I'm using the 15.201.1001.0
I also tried the one which was for download on the website but didn' notice any difference, it was probably the same.
If that driver is truly for VGA, you would need to reset your monitor to VGA. Not something most people want to see.
