All Done. Cheers.

I tried more RAM when I first got the problem, moving up from 1 GB to 2, but it didn't make any difference. Plus the memory is nowhere near being fully utilised.

I guess nobody's following this thread any more, but here's a bit more information... I did some experiments with Windows 7 and Resource Monitor and found that it is the "System Interrupts" process that seems to be causing the problem. With the videos that are affected the %age utilisation of...

Not sure if anyone is still watching this thread, but anyway... I have had to revert back to Windwos XP for now as we use the PC as a video recorder and we just couldn't watch what we had recorded in Windows 7. However, I did find out a couple of things: With XP installed when watching video...

I downloaded the NVIDIA System Monitor as I was getting paranoid that maybe there was a hardware problem and perhaps something was overheating (as the problem tends to get worse the longer I watch). However, when viewing video in MCE or MPC the GPU usage sits at 0% Shouldn't the GPU be taking...

Not sure I understand question from reghakr, I assume you are asking about the drivers, which I did download directly from Nvidia. Current codec information from MP attached

It was a completely clean install - re-formatted hard-disk with a full Windows 7 version (not upgrade). Full details of video card: Leadtek WinFast GeForce 6600 256MB DDR2 PCI-E TV + DVI

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 to get the Media Centre for recording TV. I used to use MediaPortal on Windows XP but the scheduled recording was unreliable. The recording in MCE is great but when I watch back the sound soon starts to degrade and become what I can only describe as "bubbly"...
