HD content Jerky/Stutters

yes, they seem high. Are you using nvidia video decoder? I'm guessing you are so I'm not sure how to explain it. When you look at your processes using task manager, is sage along consuming all what you have listed or is there anything else taking away processor? I usually start looking at total and then look at the split on processes. Also, if you have inverse telecline on as a nvidia driver setting, that will increase CPU a lot (I need to try it more, but the one time I tried it it maxed out my CPU).

For me the only answer to HD stutering turned out to be a 8600GT, hope this helps.

4. Changed the Purevideo settings to smart from automatic. No success. Switched back to automatic.
5. Attempted overlay, but no picture was displayed.
6. Video Quality set to fair
7. Changed video decoder to sage decoder (worse!)
8. VBox driver the beta driver, and one released before the beta.

The video file size is 7.5 GB. Reading the file shouldn't be the problem. CPU Usage during playback is around 30 to 40 %

Out of ideas.

If you don't mind the question: What is the chipset on your motherboard, Nvidia by any chance? If that is the case the only way to get it working is to completely remove Nvidia IDE drivers and use Microsoft's built in IDE.

I've been debugging stuttering on my recordings. From what I can tell, the problem is on the recording, not the playing of HD content. The first thing I did was find a really good defragger and have it run every night. (More on that in a separate post.) The second thing I did was disable my second tuner. (I'm running two VBox USB HD tuners.)

I'm now getting rock-solid recordings. Next I plan to swap out the tuners and see if the problem was my other tuner. If that works, I can then only suppose that my system can't keep up with multiple recordings.
