Problem;
Trying to run VMR9 and have closed captions from cable tuner (PVR-150) and OTA HD channels. CC is working but dropped frame rate is between 10% and 50% of total frames. If I turn hardware acceleration off in Cyberlink codec, Sage has ZERO dropped frames. Same graph that Sage is using, plays in graphedit (with CC) with hardware acceleration enabled and has zero dropped frames.

Nevermind, Problem solved. Edit not solved, came back.

Back to the basics;

Updated Audio drivers, Chipset drivers, and Lan drivers from motherboard manufactuer's website. (Vista had previously installed the drivers automatically)

Stutter is gone !!!!!!!!!!! (Edit Stutter is back).

EDIT = Spoke too soon, evening HD ASTC broadcasts brought back the stutter...

Set audio codec to Default, and raised FFDshow audio merit. Was using Cyberlink audio.
Not zero dropped frames, but very very low. Like 8 frames for 5 minutes.
