Mouse Movement Causing Stuttering Video?

Pilot · 2006-01-15, 07:22 AM

I have a Dell optical mouse (USB) on my GBPVR system. This is not a dedicated system, so I use it for other things, including while recording.

I noticed several versions ago that when I use the wheel on the mouse, it causes stuttering video when recording. However, recently that changed -- it's now mouse movement that causes stuttering video, both when recording and during playback. Meaning, even if the recording is fine, if I move the mouse around during playback (like if I'm watching GBPVR in a window while doing other things, the playback will stutter).

Does anyone else experience this? I have Diskeeper keeping my hard drive defragged, and I know it's not a the other app that I'm running that's causing the stutter, because even if I'm only running GBPVR (and nothing else), if I move the mouse around in a circle, it causes stutter -- in playback and/or recording.

Any ideas? I've never seen mouse movement affect an application so much. When it was just the roller wheel, I figured that I could just avoid using it during recordings, but now that it's any mouse movement, that makes things a little difficult.

There used to be a setting for doing the pointer w/ direct draw accelleration or something. I wonder if that could get in the way.

Was that in the mouse configuration of the operating system (like control panel) or in GBPVR or in the DirectX config or...? I tried looking around in all of the above, but didn't see anything. I also downloaded new video drivers, the latest version of DirectX, and new mouse drivers. I also tried reverting back to my PS2 mouse, but with the same results.

It didn't use to do this, so I'm wondering what's causing it now. I just noticed it happening recently, but nothing has been added to my PC in a while.

While i dont get the mouse movement problem so much, i get the mouse wheel stuttering problem. It's never really bothered me because i dont use the wheel while i watch TV, it would be nice to have a fix for this though.

I can't remember..it may be an old 95/98 setting. Try googling just in case.

There is a setting to turn off mouse shadows under mouse properties. That couldn't hurt.
