Problem playing Videos on Vista Ultimate X64

Cow_160483 · Dec 16, 2009, 08:55 AM

Hi Guys I just recently installed windows Vista Ultimate X64 and everything is fine except when I play videos , any format .

what happens is that the video slows down stops and then everything fast forwards to catch up with and you get a sort of speed up of the video for a few second. All the codex and drivers are installed correctly and this only happens on my vista installation as I have another OS (windows X64 ) and this does not happen on it ??

am I missing something simple

its really annoying

Try this Klite codec , if it asks for removing previous codec , remove.
Free-Codecs.com : Download K-Lite Codec Pack 5.5.1 FULL, K-Lite Codec Pack 5.5.1 STANDARD, K-Lite Codec Pack 5.5.1 BASIC : K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of codecs and related tools

Then try playing files with classic media player.
See if it works

I would say that get FFDShow 32-bit and Media Player Classic Home Cinema to playback the videos

Media Player Classic - Home Cinema - Video Player

it is a codec pack and if you ask me it's a rip off... I got Vista x64 and I've been fine with FFDShow and MPC-HC

It might be the player, have you tried to use "Videolan" (vlc) or just something else then the player that you encounter problems with?

Edit:

Or maybe updating the graphics driver (i get enormously low performance with ccc 9.11 when playing video files)
A new ati driver should be released today, that's what "catalystmaker" says on twitter (http://twitter.com/CatalystMaker)

Good suggestion, I've noticed that media player occassionally skips like a jerk, it's pretty craptastic.

First is NTP client error not able to connect to time.windows.com... btw. use pool.ntp.org as NTP server in the time settings...

The second I can't make any heads or tales what it is..

Cow@ in MPC settings what do you have in the output ?? I would use VMR9 (renderless)

RoyBatty · Dec 18, 2009, 05:39 PM

When you play video in MPC what filters are used (Play->Filters)?

Not really sure will have to check that but will try to change it to VMr9 and see if it works.

I was just about telling you that

. You can use Norton Ghost or similar programs to save you time and effort each time you want to reinstall windows.
