Live TV drops frames?

I've always had this annoying problem of live TV dropping the occasional frame or something like it anyhow. Every 30-60 seconds it has a small glitch and appears to drop a few frames, audio can also break for a split sec then it catches up and is fine again.

I'm using a Compro t200 which seems to work fine with it's own software. Machine had plenty of grent so it shouldn't be a resources or hardware issue. I've tried looking at the logs but I must admit I have no idea what I should be looking for, or indeed which log I should even be looking at for such an issue.

I've tried different muxes and video decoders, all of them seem to create the same issue. Also it does not seem to occur on the TVs own tuner, so I don't think it's the signal.

I'll try and attach the logs and if anyone has any suggestions that might help or can point me in the right direction as to where to start looking I'd appreciate it.

cheers.

Are you running Windows XP?

I had those same symptoms for quite a while, and eventually upgraded to Vista and the problem instantly disappeared.

I believe at the time, someone indicated it might be a quartz.dll issue.

I am running Xp yes, sorry not to include that. It's a dual core system with 2gig ram other than that so it should have the power with no problem.

I was hoping that it was a codec issue or something like it. I don't really want to upgrade to Vista to solve it if there are other options. Personally I hate Vista and I'd rather downgrade to 2000 or even run XP under VM ware in Linux than run Vista.

Thanks for the input and I'll take it into consideration if there are no other solutions. Mind you I really only use the PVR for recording and not watching live TV so much and I can put up with the little glitches if I have to. But after using GBPVR for a few years now and this is the only little thing stopping it from being perfect I hope somone can point me in the right direction.

thanks..

GBPVR Wiki Entry

This is a link from the wiki related to the quartz.dll issue - do you have an ATI graphics card?
