SageTV stutter on playback.
preamble: I have read the host of probable solutions that have been posted before. I'm still stuck.
System: Retail Pentium 3 1.2GHz QDI 10T socket 370 system board w/Via '97 Sound 512 Mbs SDRAM PC133 ATI 9200 Radeon 128Mb AGP @4x Hauppauge PVR250 w/silver remote 3Com 3c905 2 WD 40Gb drives( 1 for video storage at 64k Blocks) Sony DVDRW DRU-510A Mitsumi DVD Dishnetwork 3900 SageTV 1.4.10 SageClient Actisys IL200 IR Software: WinXP Pro SP1 Latest VIA 4n1, ATI Cat 3.9, ATI MMC 8.7 drivers Standard Hauppauge package, then installed latest from website. WinDVD 5 PowerDVD 5 SageTV works great. Records programs beautifully. Problem: SageTV playback stutters(studders sp?), just enough to be noticable and annoying. WinDVD5 and PowerDVD5 playback the recording perfect. Different Settings tried in endless configurations: VMR or Overlay...trying the 3 different codecs and the (a,b,c,d)methods. Tried the registry hacks, to no avail. I am running ACPI so my IRQ's on the main components(9200, Sound, NIC) do show up as the same in device manager: is there anyway to get these to move in WinXP just to try? The baffling ( to me anyway) part is that the stand alone dvd players play the file perfect; and SageTV records it perfect. SageTV Client plays the file perfect off the server, so I know that its some configuration issue. CPU is never taxed heavily on the PVR server, maxed at 65%(playback or record) if I run taskmanager to log it. Any experience out there that can steer me in the right direction? Thanks, John

shift your pvr card into a different slot..also disable in bios anything you dont absolutley need - parallel ports extra serials etc. you may have to try it a couple times. - I had the exact same issue and it went away when I put them on seperate IRQs.

When you changed video decoders in SageTV did you either restart the app or at least put it to sleep before testing again?

Yes sir I did, very odd stuff. I got annoyed so I reloaded XP from scratch. After reload everything worked fine in SageTV recordings, no stutter.
Thanks for all the help, another Windows corruption of some sort I'm assuming. John

Video stutters can be an enigma. I struggled with one for almost a year (multiple OS reinstalls, swapped out every single piece of hardware) and it turned out to be custom PowerStrip timings I was using.
The worst thing is, if you ask 10 different people, you'll almost certainly get 10 different answers.
