che Guest | OK, I’m at my wits end with this one, and while I’d love for someone to tell me they know a fix, I’d be nearly as happy if someone just says they see the same problem.
Here’s the deal: When I watch particularly large videos using ATI MMC, I have BIG TIME trouble skipping ahead/backward using the 27 sec skip, or even playing 1.5x/2x/4x, etc
What happens is, on a large video (can’t precisely define large. something over 3 GB at 3000kbit/s, or over 3 hours in general, or something around there)... everything is fine at the start of the video, but then a way in (also can’t nail down where. something more then 10 minutes, but always less then 45), the oddest thing starts happening:
If I jump forward/back/play at any speed other than 1x, the player just sits on a frame for over 30 secs. Sometimes MINUTES, before resuming play at the new location. During this time, perfmon shows nearly no disk activity, increased (but not maxed out) cpu activity. Also, during this time, entire system is normal and responsive, it’s only ATI player that appears to seize up. Not truly seized though, as I can drop out of full screen, drag the slider, close it, etc.
Dragging the slider produces the same results, but I notice it’s only in some spots. For instance, on a 6 hour recording, I have more problems in hour 2, and nearly none in hour 5. Go figure.
I’ve tried every imaginable bitrate, framesize, format, and encoding option, with little or no change.
Oh yeah, I see the same problem if the video is played from any other drive on this machine, and also when played from a networked drive (100 mbit).
FINALLY, I believe (though not 100% certain) that at reprocessing the video (i.e. using vegas video) corrects the problem. I’ll do more testing to confirm.
My system specs:
Athlon XP 2400
768 GB PC2100
Maxtor 160GB ATA100 (fully defragged, sandra benchmarked at over 25mb/s)
Thanks for ANY thoughtful replies.
