Video lag in windows vista x64 Pyroxide <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 12/29/2008 8:24:09 PM Hi! I just installed windows vista ultimate x64 on my PC and I've started experiencing lag from time to time in videos I try to watch. (By closing and reopening the video in VLC, it sometime plays normally (10% of the time)). Also, the sound of the videos seems to be OK, only the images lags behind at a less-than expected framerate. If I reboot my computer and the first thing I do in windows is open the video I want to watch, it plays fine 100% of the time. This didn't occur by using the 32-bit version of Vista. I have a Quadro FX 3400 graphic card and 4gigs of RAM in a HP Pavilion a6245n (Quad-core 2.4 ghz). Videos, in my opinion, shouldn't lag based on the computer I have. Do any of you have any idea what's wrong with my computer? I also want to point out that I have installed the latest driver for my graphic card and it didn't change a thing. Also, the sound of the videos seems to be OK, only the images lags behind at a less-than expected framerate. Hope to here from someone soon! Thanks, Nick -- Pyroxide

Re: Video lag in windows vista x64 Clevo <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 12/29/2008 9:48:26 PM You don't mention what sort of video files you are watching and how you are watching it. Nor do you mention what other processes you are running in the background. When you say "lag" do you mean video and sound is "out of sync" or do you mean the video is "choppy".

Re: Video lag in windows vista x64 Pyroxide <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 12/29/2008 10:31:16 PM Hi Clevo! Ok so, the video is choppy, the framerate is really low. For the processes, nothing's running, it's a brand new installation of Windows. The videos are xVids of movies downloaded from the internet. I'm using VLC and Divx Player to watch them, and the problem occurs with both. If there's anything else you need just ask! :) Thanks again, Nick -- Pyroxide

Re: Video lag in windows vista x64 Pyroxide <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 12/29/2008 11:05:41 PM Well.. like I said : The sound plays normally (not choppy or anything), while the video only shows a frame every 3-4 seconds, but that frame seems to be in sync with the audio. -- Pyroxide

Re: Video lag in windows vista x64 "Curious" <mailmenot[ at ]nomail.com> 12/30/2008 3:43:54 PM It appears the video content may not be getting buffered into your computer soon enough Do you have disk cache and dma disk transfers enabled? How much Virtual Memory do you have enabled? "Pyroxide" <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:32110b2119289788a3c3038fd7c9e5c0[ at ]nntp-gateway.com...

Re: Video lag in windows vista x64 Clevo <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 12/30/2008 9:28:29 PM You mention Xvid...do you have the xvid codec installed? Don;t install a whole pack just for one codec. Go to the microsoft website and search for the xvid codec. The link I provide in my signature is a good start Pyroxide;923648 Wrote: > Hi Clevo! > Ok so, the video is choppy, the framerate is really low.
