Re: stuttering video part 2

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



When MCE imports the encoded video buffers into the system from the tuner
and then writes them to disk it double buffers them so that it can be
writing one while receiving the next. The AMD dual core CPU driver had a
bug that could and often did get the writing of the buffers to disk out of
correct time sequence which casued the stuttering of both Live and Recorded
TV.
Until AMD fixes the problem that they admitted to you. You have two choices.
1. Dissable one of the CPU cores in the MOBO BIOS.
or
2.Set the affinity of the ehrcvr process to only one of the CPUs in the
task manager by right cliking on it.

After determining from a previous post that I needed the latest CPU driver
for the AMD 3800X2 processor,
I got the driver but that opened a whole new can of worms. It wont
install
because it looks for the C: drive to find the boot.ini file. I dont
have a C: drive and couldnt find the boot .ini file anywhere. Basically
ended up deleting something that I shouldnt have and had to reload
windows.
AMD knows of the problem but apparently is taking their own sweet time to
fix
it. Until then I guess no PVR functions. Now I also get a message that
the
decoder is in use by another application and cant watch live tv. All
other
MCE functions seem to work, Any suggestions ? or am I hosed until AMD
comes
out with a loadable driver. Also, what does the CPU driver have to do
with
this issue of video stuttering.
Thanks
