[QUOTE="Infidelus, post: 294137, member: 24037"] Well, I think I've finally cracked it, and in doing so I must make an apology. I never saw (and for this I must be blind) the codec selection under "Movies" in MP Configuration. Once I changed that, I've stopped seeing stuttering (touch wood). I'm guessing the problem was the software decodong was too much, and the PowerDVD codec is doing it on hardware? While saying "I must be blind", I think the layout for these options could do with some work. Look at the three (hope there's only three and I'm not missing more) places you can choose the codecs. [b]Television[/b] - Right there, first place you look. Easy to find. [b]DVD[/b] - Second row, but nicely labelled [b]DVD Codecs[/b]. Again, easy to find [b]Movies[/b] - Fourth row down, under [b]Movie Player[/b]. Not obvious. If I hadn't been desperately trying to sort out this particular problem, I might never have noticed it. Just a suggestion anyway. Make these things easier to find, and better labelled Rant over ;) One final question relating to PowerDVD (which I'm sure has been asked before). I'm assuming that the codec will continue to work after the software trial expires? I don't fancy paying out for 3 licences for software I'm never going to use. [/QUOTE]
