I think you need to test whether or not the issue is your videos that you are encoding. Download the Secret Agent video from Emumovies and replace your copy and see if you get the same stutter issue.

No stutters here.

I test it. It's less visible cause the secret agent video from emumovies is encoded to 30 fps. But the issue remains.  Try my videosnaps with your gameex videos folder, and scroll your games list (like my first post) until you see the stutter.

I can reproduce this issue as I've just updated my GameEX because it informed me that an update was available.

On my main PC after GameEX 32-bit version finished updating, it looks like the videos are playing about 1.5X - 2X speed compared to an older version I had installed.

As A result of this I've noticed more RAM being used. I don't think this is strictly just a 64-bit issue.

When I upgraded my GroovyMAME setup because Calamity released 0.202, I upgraded GameEX their too and get constant freezes/unresponsiveness as a result of the videos trying to play too fast.

 

If a Mod or Administrator could send me 15.41 in a PM I'd love to see if this issue happens on multiple setups when rolling back. I might need 15.30 as well as I can't remember which version I had installed previously.

Tom provides the previous versions of PinballX available from the Change Log but do not see it for any of the GameEx versions.

I found 15.20 using google and put that on my GroovyMAME setup that's always offline with a bare-bones windows 7 Ultimate X64 and while it remedies the video/stuttering issues, it crashes with a message about missing database files. Unfortunately, Evo doesn't run on that setup either as it crashes with a message.

 

I've put the latest version of GameEX back on the GM setup and I'll see if I can figure something out by tinkering around with settings.

Obviously, Tom is the only one that can confirm what changed between those releases that may have affected this.

However, it should be noted that @Jeremy27041980 noted that this has been ongoing "since years" so this may be something well before even the 15.30 change.

I confirm that i have it since my first installation of Gameex on Windows Vista !  I realize that I am old...

OFF TOPIC: My first install was on XP so have you beat  by a few years. 

By the way, when did you create your videos? They are great quality and I like the HLSL application. Definitely superior to the ones I have.

I will attempt to see if I can replicate using a few.

[Jeremy27041980]

I created my videos one year ago with OBS and Sony Vegas. Before, i took them from emumovies, but they have low quality.
