Video Rendering Jerky after XP SP2

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

After the update to XP SP2, my computer renders video
files (.avi) in jerky fashion including audio. This
occurs no matter what video editing software is being
used. This appears to be related to continuous disk
activity while the video is playing.

I have reloaded the orignal XP on a new disk and this
works correctly with minimal disk activity. This worked
fine on the original disk.

I have uploaded all of the OEM patches and the latest
video driver which supports DirectX 9.0c. The MS chat
site says they do not think it is an XP problem.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

When was the last time you defragged the hard drive?

I have defrag'ed 3 or 4 times after unloading half of the
partition. The D: partition is almost completely
defrag'ed. The problem even occurs if I burn the file on
a CD-R and try to play it from there. Here is the defrag
report:

Mark-

Long shot here....

Are you using the NEW built-in firewall
that comes with SP2? If so, perhaps
it is screwing with you (to those of you who
are ready to jump on me for even suggesting it,
re-read my intro above).

Unplug yourself from the Internet and disable
it completely-hell, disable ALL non-essential
services, and see what happens.

Another thought: have you checked to see if
your drives all have DMA turned ON? SP2
may have screwed those settings over as well.

Vance,

Thanks for the suggestions. The firewall is one thing I
tried since it is a noticable change in SP2. I tried it
again just to verify and the result is the same. Still
alot of disk activity. I am not quite sure where the DMA
settings for the disk is. I did turn off the disk
indexing for both partitions. I guess I will try killing
some processes in the Task Manager. Wish me luck.

Thanks again,
Mark

No luck with the Task Manager. I did notice that when the
video was attempting to play, the only load on the system
was the WMP.

Does anyone at MS care about this problem? I scanned the
archives of this newsgroup and it seems to be widely
reported. I have another symptom that is also widely
report that is I can no longer capture video from my
digital camcorder. Again, on the disk where I reloaded
the original software, everything works fine. Not a
hardware problem.

Microsoft, please fix this problem your SP2 patch created!

As far as the video capture problem is concerned I may be able to help you.
Execute the following command on Start > Run dialog:

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\qdv.dll

It should result in a "DllRegisterServer in qdv.dll succeeded" message.

Many people have seen some directx DLLs like qdv.dll (used in DV AVI
capture/playback) to get unregistered for some reason after installing SP2.
It may be related to them having installed some rogue program prior to SP2.
Anyway the above should fix the dv avi capture issue.

I would recommend installing full DirectX and WIndows Media Encoder after
upgrading to SP2. It may help in your other issues.

Good luck and please report back either success or failure so other can
learn and benefit.

What do you mean by, "install full DirectX and Windows Media Encoder?" I have run dxdiag and it says I have 9.0c with no problems. I do not know what the Windows Media Encoder is. This problem occurs no matter what video playback software I use: Premier LE, Movie Maker, WMP, Quicktime, etc.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will report back.

By installing DirectX and WME I mean just that. I know you would have DX9 as
you installed SP2. But for some reason things go wrong (I dont know the
exact reason) but reinstalling these two components has been proved
successful for many people with similar issues.

Download the full DirectX9c (full 34Mbs of it) and run the installer.

I have done the following, trying the video playback after
each step:

1. Reinstalled DirectX from redistribution package.
2. Installed Windows Media Encoder.
3. Uncompressed all of the .exe and .dll files in
WINDOWS\system32 and WINDOWS\system32\dlcache.

None of these fixed the problem. This has to be related
to the disk accesses interrupting the retrieval of the
data from the disk.

Anyone else?
Microsoft, are you listening?

Thanks,
Mark
