DV-AVI play very jittery in WMP and Nero Showtime

[Chuck Engels]

It just depends on how much of a problem it is and how much time you want to spend trying to figure it out.
Sometimes it just comes down to a bad registry entry, bad link to a DLL, or a corrupt file somewhere.

I have reformatted drives on many occasions for similar reasons as you have, 99% of the time that fixes the problem.
At least that way I know that I will spend 'X' number of hours installing software are restoring backups, but I know that there will be an end and the results will be good.

I'm not saying that it is the only option, just that it is an option.

I ran across this filter called ReClock, which suggests that audio could cause jittery playback and this filter will fix it:

Robert. Looks like an excellent find!

That ReClock is from Slysoft. I started to read the ReadMe, but wasn't in the mood to finish it at this time.

RJ I really appreciate all the help you have given me. Thank you.

What I tried instead of that filter was a System Restore. Which I don't like.(because I don't understand how it works) I'd rather fix the problem. I went back and forth a couple of times till I got close enough to today's date that I was satisfied. I ended up at New Years Eve day. DV-AVI play fine now.
I had to re update a few things but things seem OK so far.
Going by the System Restore check point dates it looks like it was that fix all with one button click that I read about and tried .viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4412&p=38432#p38432
After New Years day restoration points I got trails and jitters when viewing DV-AVI in WMP.

What luck you could go back that far with System Restore!

When it comes to System Restore, what I've found is that any files you downloaded from the internet after that restore point that have .exe or .zip for file extensions will be gone. You may also end up with duplicate folders that have (2) appended to the name. Those shouldn't cause problems other than they take up disk space.

Congrat Richard, glad you got it sorted out without having to resort to drastic measures
