Hi,
So I just installed GB-PVR with my new HTPC. Iâm running:
Athlon 3800+ Dual core
Windows XP MCE 2005
2 GB RAM
nVidia Geforce 7600 GS
vBox HDTV Tuner (ATSC Signal)
3.0 GB/s SATA Hard Drive
The problem Iâm having is that every 30 seconds or so, the video playback will be very choppy for about 10 seconds, and then go back to normal.
I think I have eliminated the possibility of it being a decoding issue, as when I record something, the skipping will occur at the same point in the recording, regardless of what player I use to play it back with. (I'm currently using the Nvidia decoder, as it seemed to work best with my Nvidia graphics card).
This led me to the BDA mux options, which I tried many combinations of (CyberLink, DVR-MS), all of which yield pretty much the same results. I checked the version of the CyberLink it's using (top entry on BDA Mux Checker), and it's version 5.x....
This problem seems to occur all the time, including Live TV as well as when I record, and as I mentioned this problem is repeatable as the stuttering appears to be tied to the recording. I considered the possibility of a HDD error when writing, but running at 3.0 GB/s, I canât imagine this would be the case.
Iâve zipped up and attached all of my log files.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Josh
