[QUOTE="Tech Geek, post: 148671, member: 18181"] I'm not sure if the 2200+ would be an issue or if it's the 9600XT. Both are on the low side. I'm wondering if that's due to a block of video getting decoded and by the time it's done it's behind and has to skip to catch up. If the skipping is random in nature then signal strength is a likely culprit. If it's a consistent pattern it is probably a speed issue. Hmmm... higher compression xvid works better than MPEG2? The xvids are lower bandwidth. Hard drive bandwidth, video card bandwidth or both could play a part. Maybe even the hardware MPEG2 decoder if you are using it. There has to be enough memory bandwidth to transfer the data to the card, decode the video, scale the video and play the video. Different codecs may offer better results. Anytime you have to scale the video to another resolution you are probably relying on the graphics hardware to make the change and at that resolution... it's a lot of data. [/QUOTE]
