I haven't tested on XP MC yet but I did find out a few things.

1. The HDTV Superbowl playback with Windows Media Player set for VMR9 is flawless. That includes both 2D and 3D texture modes.

2. 1 of the recordings I made from MP in HD has a frame dropped here or there but it's pretty good..

3. 1 SDTV program I recorded skipped even worse than MP does when watching TV.

#1 tells me it's not VMR9 video playback and the card can handle playing HDTV by itself.

#2 and #3 tell me something stinks in MP or #3 wouldn't happen. The jerking is horrid on #3.

#2 tells me MP is very close to being able to work and with a little time the problem may work itself out... or that's the best the buffering can do.
