Encoder/decoder issues with V5
I am having a slew of new problems with v5 that I never had before with earlier versions.
I'm getting video stuttering, like a strobe effect, no video and most recently, sound dropping out. I purchased Sonic Decoder and it has worked very well for me up until this version. Appearantly the install process of v5 sets the SAGE TV decoder (decoder/encoder I get em confused, but you rknow what I mean) as the default. This works, but I get high CPU usage with this setup (21-30%) when I would get only 10-15% with the Sonic. If I'm using the Sonic encoders (for both video and audio) I sometimes get blank video, or a DirectX error when starting a video. I'm also noticeing a a pause before the sound kicks in (but it comes on in sync) of about 2 seconds. Sometimes I get no sound. SOmetimes when I get no sound, I can pause and play (toggle my remote to start and stop playback) and get the sound to come on. But only sometimes. ????? Short of Formatting drive C, and starting over (which I'm tempted to anyways for of ther reasons (clean out reg of other non used programs and glitches from other SAGE issues of past) what can I do?

What you're dealing with are decoders. But I think your on the right track with the "nuke and pave". Just back up your wiz.bin so you've got your viewing history and everything. As much as a pain as it is this is usually the best way.

YEP - I've been saying this myself in several posts. Check your CPU resources as they are probably up to 60-90%. Best thing to do is change your Video Renderer to Overlay. Overlay seems to take about 10% resources for me, DEFAULT (20-40% resources), VMR9 (60-90% CPU resources).
