Bik video stutter, sound ok

[rahaney]

Hi all,

 

For some reason my bik videos when played inside F3 stutter but with normal sound.

 

However i can play them fine with rad tools.

 

I've looked around and there used to be problems a while back but it was fixed in XP SP1.

 

I'm using my onboard realtek but have also tried with a creative card (old) that i have. No change.

 

I don;t have ffdshow installed and have updated my .net fx to the latest.

 

I've also tried at all patch levels.

 

Thanks in advance,

Hm, the problem should be somewhere between codecs and your video card / driver.

I have the problem as well, but the other way round. The videos play nice in game, but are chopy when I play them with Rad Tools.

Do you have the full purchased Version?

[rahaney]

Yep, i've got the full game. Well, the original plus BS. None of the other dlcs interest me.

 

I thought it could be codecs since i've tried pretty much all the nvidia drivers from 180 onwards.

 

Can i ask what codec packs you have installed? Plus any other info you think appropriate,

 

Cheers,

I thought maybe you have the full version of Rad tools, but this shouldn't make a difference. To avoid problems with audio stutter I avoid installing most applications which brings along codecs. Hard to say if there is a codec pack which helps. Have you tried to set another game resulution since the bik Videos are realy big. Additional you could try to install the latest ffdshow pack again.

 

But do you have Service Pack 3?

if not go here Service Pack

 

and here for nLite

I've got the full version of Rad Tools - a free download though.

 

I'll try getting ffdshow again

 

I'm running xp64 so there isn't an SP3

 

I'll let you know of the result.

 

Many thanks for your help
