CINEFORM 1080i WINDOWS MEDIA playback - choppy
 

hi,

should i be getting smooth playback in windows media with 1080i cineform codec?

Pentium D 2.8 Ghz
1 gig ram
750 gigs
ATI X700 256MB

whith this setup - what would be the proper settings for video and windows media.

thanks

joel

If you are using components shipped with Premiere PRo 1.5.1 only then no; those components are much odder and not threaded for dual core processors. If you are using Aspect HD or Connect HD then yes, all the new encoder and decoder compoents exploit hyperthreading, multi-core and multi-processor systems.

yeah 3.3...

so what can i do to improve playback?

thanks

Ooopss! I made an error. The Aspect HD playback threading is on the timeline only, it is Prospect HD that has a new threaded decoder than does multi-core processing even within media player. The new decoder will ship in the next release of Aspect HD. Please enable email services through this forum so I can email the new decoder, or email me (through the forum) as I have you beta test the new Aspect HD decoder.

sounds good..

ok i enabled email services through this forum so you can email me now...

thanks,

joel

ps

yeah, i was wondering why i was able to get good playback in the timeline but not in WM playerm thanks for clearing that up for me.

This was discussed not that long ago in the following thread:

Download the following registry controls to get smoother (albeit lower resolution) playback from Windows media player software.
