Full screen video playback choppy in every program

[ride1099]

I have a small Acer "media PC" connected to my 50" Panasonic plasma. I watch a lot of videos on this PC but all of a sudden full screen playback of any and all forms of video is choppy and skips. This is the case for all video types is all programs including GOM player, VLC, Windows media player, etc. Videos tend to behave when they're left at their normal size (just a window) but once they're made full screen they get choppy and are unwatchable. This is frustrating as I'm currently stuck having to convert all my videos to place on a flash drive and play directly through the TV

Any thoughts?

How are you connecting to the t.v./ high speed/ Gold tipped hdmi ?
There are options for Output on the computer/ right click your desktop and point at Graphic's options,
Use Graphic's properties/ Help-support sections for links to check for Video card driver updates.

The problem still remains after trying a few things:

-doing every possible Windows update
-updating the graphics card drivers (actually they were up to date)

Full screen video playback is fine for about 5 minutes then it becomes choppy in every program (GOM Player, WMP, VLC, etc.). Playback is still fine when kept to a small window.

Got another hard drive?
Reinstall windows.

Or maybe some malware?
I found this page helpful.

At the bottom is JRT, junk removal tool. Run program as admin. I cleaned out 2 PC's and one is improved. The other did not have noticeable issues.

Hi
I had exactly the same problem and a few google searches led me here.

Since you mention you have a Panasonic Plasma (as do I) I did the following and it sorted me out.

To be honest I'm not sure exactly what sorted it out of this list but I suspect the TV config was the answer.

Anyway:

1. On the Panasonic TV - "Menu > Settings > Other Settings" Set Intelligent Frame Creation to OFF.
2. Use Shark 007 Codecs install standard then 64 Bit. Change the following Settings:

Settings Application 64 Bit

SWAP Tab > Disable Windows Media Foundation > Ticked
> Disable Windows DMO Video Codecs > Ticked
> Disable Microsoft Video Decoder > Ticked
MKV Tab > Playback > Use LAV Splitter > Selected

Setting Application (32 Bit)

SWAP Tab > Disable Windows Media Foundation > Ticked
> Disable Windows DMO Video Codecs > Ticked
> Disable Microsoft Video Decoder > Ticked

MKV Tab > Playback > Use LAV Splitter > Selected

3. Check the Video Card Refresh Rate. My Plasma has a Refresh Rate of 600HZ or something Mad. Windows seems to set this to 50HZ for some reason. Change this to 60HZ:

Control Panel > Display > Adjust Resolution > Advanced Settings > List All Modes > Choose 1920 by 1080, True Color (32Bit), 60Hertz

4. I also use my HTPC for gaming with an ATI R9 Series and also saw screen tearing sometimes in games. Usually the V-Sync setting in the game sorts this but I sorted this as well in Catalyst Control Center by:

Gaming > Application Settings > System Settings > Frame Rate Control
Wait for Vertical Refresh > Yes, unless application specifies
OpenGL Triple Buffering > On

If you don't game though or use an ATI card then forget this.

All of this sh*t p*ssed me off until I worked it out so I hope it helps others.

Good Luck!
