Preview videos stuttering and pausing in GameEx 9.30

[dwight]

Hi,

I'm now running WinXP rather than Vista again, I'm using GameEX 9.30 and FFDShow from the GameEX site (the recommended version). The preview videos seem to stuttering and pausing on playback. They playback fine in Windows - it's like the old problem when I first went to Vista and the previews would do the same thing - this was fixed a while ago, and was working fine up until about 9.27, then the stuttering started to happen again under Vista. I didn't worry too much at the time because I was planning to go back to XP, but now Im back on XP with the same issue.

I havn't attached my log files, but can - the only warnings in the log are that GameEX can't find instruction folders for some of my emulators.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Dwight.

FYI I am using the Vista Codec Pack on my XP 64 system and the videos play back perfectly through GameEx. A few others have confirmed this pack to work with GameEx, so it's worth a try!

Yeah, post the log. I did change something with videos in 9.30, but only if your running videos as the background image.

Oops my mistake I misread the first post, I thought you were saying you moved from XP back to Vista.

Well, Installed the Vista Codec 4.6.6 pack anyway - in Windows XP, and it fixed the problem! Preview videos play fine again.

I ran the install for 4.6.6, it didnt complain that it wasn't vista, then uninstalled FFDshow (yeah, I know should have done that first), restarted GameEX, and tada - all is good! I'm not running videos as a background by the way.

Thanks!
