Within the last 2 weeks, WMP 10 will not play completely through an mpg file
without hanging every few seconds. It seems like it is having a buffering
problem but these short 3 minute mpgs have never caused a problem before. I
tried downloading WMP10 again...nothing changed. Is there a buffer setting
that might have changed? I have 2G RAM and these files are little. I'm
completely up to date on all MS updates. ANY IDEAS why my little video clips
will not play all the way to the end without hanging - playing - hanging -
playing??? I've been doing this for a long time and something must have
changed on the system or settings in the last 2 weeks. HELP
If your Video is "hanging up" you most likely created a lousy Video..its
works quite well to Defragment the File from time to time..this is how I
eliminated small "jitter" in my Video's..when a DV-avi File is created the
sound track is tied to the video track..if playback is bad it will reveal a
lousy soundtrack as well..my Video's have risen in quality since I have moved
alot of files to my External HDD-library..Microsoft Movie Maker has never
failed me with a File..maybe you should re-install other software that
creates your movies..Defrag your Hard-Drive..use Disk Clean and RUN--CHKDSK.
Thanks for the response. I failed to mention that I also use other media
playing
products. No other product has a problem with my video clips. Only WMP 10.
That's why I thought it might be a buffer setting or something. My system has
a lot of resources and is lacking for nothing to be cleaned or defragged. I
just hate that WMP 10 can't be used to view the mpg's like it has been for so
long. Something must have changed with it since all other products work
fine.
Don't recall the solution, but did run across an article that stated the same
problem that you are having I think the word jitter or jittery was used as a
keyword. It had a solution.
OK..video clips....so we are concerned w/WMP-10...as a Playback Device...mine
works well..it will mal-function if I create a DV-file..and attempt a Quick
Re-view that the File contains the Sound Track from the Sound
Card(CREATIVE)..the soundtrack will RUN at about 1/2-speed-->you know....like
a bad dream...Digital Video is part of the Sound Track..even if you don't
hear any "sound"..there is a sound track present..or the Video will not
appear at all..if you ERASE the soundtrack in MSMM2 the Video or Storyboard
Portion will ERASE along w/IT..they need each other..So...if you are haveing
a WMP-10 problem...its most likely Your File...Play something else in
WMP-10...Like a Store bought DVD..or a successful DVD-disk you have
made..this will pass the MPEG-2 compression..the Large File is differant..I
will Convert a DV-avi File into WMV-file....No Problem w/Playback...I always
use the .wma File for sound tracks..mp3 works also...but I'm useing WINDOWS
where-ever I can...mpeg-2 is a BEST Format..the others might not be
compatible w/what-ever you purchased..I have 3-Video Players....installed on
my PC...sometimes I must Search for my PLAYBACK....BUT...MPEG-2 works all
over the place.
