When using Nvidia Purevideo codec I get terrible stutter when watching TV. Want to use PV because HW acceleration. And with OSD (miniepg etc.) up it gets even worse.. The CPU usage is only 10-20% so thats not the problem. When using MPV there's no stutter and the cpu usage is 50-60%.

Any tips/solution for this..?

ps - This is with a fresh XP Pro SP2 installation, and no other codecs innstalled
