I use FFDshwo for xvid,avi, etc....anything not dvd. I have the box unchecked to use Windows Media Player engine if possible. For about 5 days everything is fine and suddenly MC will crash and it looks like multiple instances of FFDshow are loading in the systray.
I uninstall FFdshow and avi's palyback choppy, really weird consistent choppiness - if I seek to the middle I get giant blocky pixels for a second.
Re-install FFDshow and everything is fine, until the cycle resumes itself.
I have Gspot and some other tools, but I know little about video codecs except that I had tried codec packs in the past and read to be careful with what you install.
Anyone have any ideas?
thanks
