At some point, my system started having problems with .MPG and .MPEG files.
DreamScene "stumbles". The video plays normal for about 2 seconds, then
speeds up, then OK for 2 seconds, then speeds up, on and on.
Dreamscene videos play fine in WMP and other players. As for other MPG/MPEG
files:
1. Some videos play too fast in WMP, some play fine.
2. Some videos play too fast in GSpot, some play fine.
3. Some videos play too fast in QuickPlay, some play fine.
4. Some videos play too fast in Windows Media Center, some play fine.
5. There's no consistency; some videos play fast in one player and fine in
another. I can find no pattern.
6. All seem to play fine in VLC.
AVI's and such aren't affected, only MPG/MPEG.
HP Pavilion Laptop, factory installed with Vista Home Premium, upgraded to
Ultimate. More than capable hardware-wise to use DreamScene. Problems did
not start until several months after the upgrade, and were not corrected
with SP1.
I'm guessing a codec problem, but I don't see any consistency with the video
specs, different bit rates, different sizes, different sources, etc.
Anyone else encountered this in Vista?
