Re: MPG file weirdness

It could very well be a codec issue but I hesitate to suggest installing
codec packs as they tend to cause more problems than solve.

If by chance you installed a codec pack I suggest uninstalling it for
now and see if that resolves issues.

Also, you don;t mention the source of the video files you are having
issues with. I feel this infprmation is pertinent

DreamScene "stumbles". The video plays normal for about 2 seconds, then
speeds up, then OK for 2 seconds, then speeds up, on and on.

Dreamscene videos play fine in WMP and other players. As for other
MPG/MPEG
files:

1. Some videos play too fast in WMP, some play fine.
2. Some videos play too fast in GSpot, some play fine.
3. Some videos play too fast in QuickPlay, some play fine.
4. Some videos play too fast in Windows Media Center, some play fine.
5. There's no consistency; some videos play fast in one player and fine
in
another. I can find no pattern.
6. All seem to play fine in VLC.

AVI's and such aren't affected, only MPG/MPEG.

HP Pavilion Laptop, factory installed with Vista Home Premium, upgraded
to
Ultimate. More than capable hardware-wise to use DreamScene. Problems
did
not start until several months after the upgrade, and were not
corrected
with SP1.
I'm guessing a codec problem, but I don't see any consistency with the
video
specs, different bit rates, different sizes, different sources, etc.

Anyone else encountered this in Vista?
