Sound and Video out of Sync

[finster]

Hi all,

I have GB-PVR set up, and it is running really well - I can schedule recordings both via the front-end and via the web interface.

However, when I come to watch the recordings, after a few minutes the sound and video get out of sync. It starts off fine, but then gradually gets worse until the sound gets extremely "choppy".

I get this watching through the GB-PVR front-end, and also with Media Player 9.

When watching with WMP9, when things start to get bad, if I click on the bar at the bottom to jump to a specific point in a recording (even it is approximately the same point), things are fine, but then gradually start getting out of sync again.

I have searched the internet, but can't seem to find any relevant info.

My current set-up is: -

Shuttle SK41G (VIA KM266 chipset)
PVR250
XP2400
512MB
Win 2k

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks.

GB-PVR doesn't do any of the playback itself, but instead relies on MPEG-2 decoders already installed on your machine. It sounds like the one your machine is using is not doing a good job of playback. Try selecting another MPEG2 decoder if you have one available.

Thanks, sorted it now.

For those with similar problems, in the config app, there is an option to change decoders. I changed from "System Default" to "Intervideo NonCSS Video Decoder for Hauppauge".

Cheers again.
