What are jitter and dropped frames? (1 Viewer)

[mrkaras]

I know what droped frames are, but on the screen you get by pressing "!" what is the jitter number measureing
realy what I am trying to do is make HDTV work, it has done before (several MP reinatalls ago) and I want it back, what can I do to reduce droped frames and eliminate jitter. I usualy get 0 dropped frames on SD and some on HD, usualy 0 jitter on both but some HD programs I get jitter of about 30-40. CPU useage not > 50% ever.

if you want me to use graphedit you will need to tell me how to make it show a graph first, If I use connect to remote graph the result is a blank graph (or no remote graphs even listed depending on where I get graphedit from (one seems to be graphedt.exe and the other graphedit.exe))

it seems to work fine in mediacenter.

are you running MP in "windowed" mode when constructing a graph?

i believe to get graphedit on vista working you need to register proppage.dll
if you dont have it in the graphedit download, google for it download and register

did that, doesn't help, and yes MP is running in a window when I try to use graphedit but not normaly when I am having the performance issues that don't occor in mediacenter.
