Videos skipping ahead

[kevincorazza]

I notice that after I had a fresh install of XP, some vidoes were behaving badly. 20 minute videos are simply clips now, its almost that it accelerates the speed of the video, and they become only a minute, even though they are the same file size as the original 20 minute was. You can skip around it till the end, but you cant slow it down to the normal speed.

I am using about three different video player programs and it happens in all of them, so I think this is an XP problem and not whatever program I am using.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

if it was an XP problem, everybody would have the same problem. I rather think it is a CODEC problem..

Good call.

I'm noticing that a lot of new hardware coming out can be over clocked.. yet today's apps are very sensitive to it and tend to cause problems.

I understood overclocking years ago.. but I don't really see the benefit of it today.

 

[kevincorazza]

I both underclocked and overclocked by processor, to no avail. Any other suggestions? I reinstalled divx many times, but its still doing the same thing.

I noctied that Windows Media Player files are not affected but its more like mpgs and avis....

Have you tried to uninstall your viewing programs and just use one instead of having all installed at once?

You don't have problems with anything else? Video card isn't over clocked?

I think there's a program called gspot which deals specifically with helping people get the right codecs.

I can't breath!
Forgive me a cruel chuckle, hehe, power!

Microsoft has a certified driver for Nvidia on their website you might want to consider downloading and trying. That solves a lot of video problems.. you might have some odd release on your video card.
