Sturmvogel Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I have an.avi episode of something and when playing it on my laptop, the sound sometimes skips..or actually the vid skips a tiny bit at the beginning. After the first 20 secs or so it plays fine. I've ruled out the players I use, WMP and VLC. I also tried playing the file on a lab comp. It played with no skips. All of the other vids I've played on my comp work fine..but this just bugs me. I'm just hoping its not a performance issue on account of my laptop... My laptop specs: Windows XP SP1 (gotta upgrade to SP 2)Pentium 4 3.0mhz512 DDR ramATI mobile radeon x600Video Mem: 64mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Do you know what kind of priority the player itself uses? At least in BSPlayer, as soon as I set it to something lower than 'Normal' the video skips sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmvogel Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 (edited) Well I don't think that's it. I've played other vids and they all work fine. But this avi file just stutters a bit then plays okay. This has happened in both WMP and VLC. I guess if you don't have any other suggestions I'll probably let it go...although I do want to get the the bottom of this..'.

Wizard Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 One: Update your video codecs.Two: Update to the latest WMP.Three: After doing one of the two previous options (or doing both). Get Media Player Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmvogel Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 (edited) Right Wiz...as well as update to Service Pack 2. As for codecs...I think I have the most up to date ones...as far as playing my files are concerned. But upgrading WMP I can do. Yeah..i've been hearing good things about Media player classic...tried it out today. Played the vids without a problem...but I'm not sure if the problem is solved.
