Media Player: Choppy Videos! Fix?

[BrianC]

Many videos I download are choppy. MANY. But not all. Anyone else having this problem?

To be sure it wasn't a virus, I wiped the computer and started over. Played some of the same video files and they were fine. When I go to play them a month or two later...they're choppy again. It must be some corruption or virus or something to that extent...or my video card. I'll give the pertinent info:

- WinXP Pro Corp Gold Edition
- Media Player 10
- nVidia FX5200 128mb
- 1GB (2x512Mb) PC3200 Kingston Value RAM
- Microsoft Anti-Spyware
- Spybot S&D
- AVG 7.0 (anti-virus)

Any help would be appreciated if someone has fixed this problem.

Try using something else other then Media player, The problem with media player is after loading several codexs it never uses the right one. Try a DIVX player its free, or see if someone will share a copy of Power DVD with you, you know for testing purposes  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />
