Skipping or Stuttery HD Playback

[crashbowman]

I am recording to Microsoft DVR-MS files, because it is the only option that works consistently for me. It records the files completely fine, the only problem is that very, very often during playback of them the video kind of skips or stutters almost like a framerate issue. If I pause the playback and restart it will stop. Sometimes I have to paus and play three, four or five times, but everytime it will eventually play perfect with just a paus and restart. Is there anything I can do to not have to do this. I know I use to now have the problem, probably a few versions back in GBPVR.

Thanks for any ideas,
John

I have a similar problem - my dvr-ms's play fine in windows media player, no jerkyness or stuttering. It looks like ffdshow starts while i'm playing it in Media player 9. It would be great to have them play in GBPVR like my analog recordings.

I;ve looked in the forums, but not sure what to search for

thanks for any help~

Just for kicks, try VMR Fullscreen Exclusive. I had stuttering playback on live TV with my HD-PVR and that setting finally took care of it for me.

Thanks for the advice, I had my setup on VMR9 (fullscreen exculsive) already, and i have to admit, i kinda forgot about those settings - once i get one that works, i dont like to mess with the settings.

I did try overlay manager just now, and my recorded QAM playback was very smooth, just now the OSD doesnt look as good, and i cant use the mouse to pause, FF, etc -

I will mess with some more settings, and hope i can get the perfect setup

any more advice?
thank you again,

I think the mouse buttons dont work with the overlay renderer. It should pause/FF/etc ok with the keyboard or remote.
