Hi.
I'm having quite the problem after formatting. When I play movies the player takes up a shitload of processing power. While playing an XviD or DivX3-5 movie the processing power may linger at around 40% for a while, but soon ascends and sometimes reaches as much as 98%! This, off course, causes desynch audio and choppy playback. Mpeg1 and 2 seems only sligthly less demanding. I've tried Zoom Player, Media Player Classic, Media Player 9 and WinDVD so far. I've used FFDShow 2003.05.23, 2003.11.28, 2004.01.13 and 2004.02.25 as well as using just Koepi's XviD 1.0-RC2 codec. I've tried AC3Filter 0.70b and the built in AC3 decoder in FFDShow. First I tried reinstalling DirectX 9.0b, no luck. I tried reverting to the Nvidia drivers I used prior to formatting, nothing. I also formatted again, same deal.. I then formatted a 2:nd time using a different XP-CD.. zilch!
I'm only having this problem while playing movies.. everything else is working fine.
My system:
Athlon XP 2200+
768mb RAM
Windows XP SP1 + All recent updates
Any help would be appreciated, I'm getting desperate here!
