Jerky Video Playback, maybe a solution...

[TorpidLittle]

Find a solution for my problem:

I had a problem with jerky video playback and also DirectX (DXDiag) spinning cube that was not smooth.

Follow this link and search for "Jerky" along the page:

Here is the fix:

Stop Jerkey Graphics

I have for a long time had problems with "jerky" graphics in some 3d games and 3dmark, and have had relativly high cpu loads in idle condition.
The cpu load would pulse from 1-2% up to 10-12%-load with about three-five seconds intervals...(in idle)
The jerking has not been due to low perfomance hardware or old drivers and I have had the problems on two seperate systems.
If you are connected to a LAN and have similar problems, this might be the solution:

1.RightClick "MyComputer"
2.Select "Manage"
3.Click on "Device Manager"
4.DoubleClick on your NIC under "Network Adapters"
5.In the new window, select the "Advanced" tab
6.Select "Connection Type" and manuelly set the value of your NIC. (Not "Auto Sense" which is default.)
7.You should reboot...
On my systems the "jerking" in 3D games was completly gone, and so was the high idle cpu load.

Hope this will help!

what should u set it to, other than 'Auto-Sense'? Under 'connection type'

100Base Tx Full Duplex
100Base Tx Half Duplex

10Base T Full Duplex
10Base T Half Duplex

What works better?

The one that your card sets normally!

I set mine at 100Mbits/s (my network adapter find that speed on "Auto-Sense" so...) and it works well for me!

By the way, I'm connected to a "Cable Modem".

Thks for the reply. I also have cable modem.

"I set mine at 100Mbits/s (my network adapter find that speed on "Auto-Sense" so...) and it works well for me! "

not sure what U mean. Do U mean your netwk adapter finds thath speed .. 100mbits or Auto-sense.?

Do U think it would help my slight choppy playback of dvds?

I mean my network adapter normally connect at 100Mbits/s when "Connection Type" is set to Auto-Sense. So I manually select that speed in the "Connection Type" drop down list.

But I not sure if that will help you with your choppy dvd playback but for me, it fixed all jerky playback for all kind of video files (DVD, Divx, Xvid, etc...)
