Random Stutter

By M0nica L - usenet poster


I experience random stuttering on recorded and live TV playback. By random I
mean once about every hour or two. The stutter lasts about 2 to 3 seconds,
freezing the video and audio. The systems recovers and it is repeatable if
replayed. DVD recordings or direct DVD plays do not experience this.

My system is running Vista Ultimate on a 3.0ghz Intel MoBo with 1.5gb of
RAM. The OS is installed a 80gb drive and recording in on a 500gb drive. DVD
recordings are on 250gb drives. All are SATA. The video card is a 7600GT. I'm
using the Vista built-in decoder.

This is very puzzling as my video/audio streams are perfect otherwise. High
performance drives with acceleration turned on and daily defragging has
assured this much. Also not that is nothing else going on in the machine - no
Defender (It's been disabled), antivirus, or anything.

Any ideas - I'm out.

I am not aware of a progress logger but if you have the task manager
performance graph displayed you can minimize it and call it up as soon as
the problem occurs. The graph itself appears to display the utilization for
about the last minute.

bummer. My main OS is Vista Ultimate x64. When I watch TV with MCE using
the ATI TV Wonder Elite card (550), I have noticed that if I try to copy
files from a DVD to my HD that it causes stutters and stammers. Sometimes
the picture freezes up entirely until the HD settles down. I am thinking of
replacing this card with a PCI-e TV Tuner card to see if this helps, but
because of the HD problem I just stated I also was going to replace my dated
EIDE drives with a SATA II Seagate drive.

I'm using SATA II drives. The 500gb recording drive has a 16mb buffer as
well. I don't think the drive is the issue as I have subsituted other types
with the same results.

Are you using SATA I or SATA II drives? The reason I ask is that I have
this same problem to a much larger extent using 2 EIDE PATA/133 hard drives.
I am upgrading to a SATA II drive next month, and was hoping this would fix
my problem.

I'm not sure on the autio drivers - the Intel site is showing drivers dated
3/18/07. I'll check tonight at home and confirm.

I wish I knew on the CPU utilization, but the problem is I don't know when
its going to happen so its pretty tough to catch it. Is there some sort of
CPU/process logger that could be used?

Are the Vista drivers for your audio card/chip also up to date?
What is the CPU utilization when the problem occurs?
