hey guys,

i'm trying to play a video i encoded in wmv9.  if i encode only the video, it plays great.  once i add in audio, the video gets really choppy.  i've tried 2-channel, 5.1, vbr, cbr etc, but the result is the same.

i'm using the 11/29 build of xbmc.  anyone out there having better luck than me?

thanks,
bryan

maybe the combined bit-rate gets to hight for xbox 733mhz cpu & 64mb shared meory to handle? try re-encode the video

i've tried the lower bitrate (1mb/s) and also encoding as wmv8, but the results are the same.

it's a 720x480 video. is that too high?

thanks,
bryan

yes,i find wmv files choppier than those divx/xvid files with same spec(most of them are 640x480/ac3),you will easily notic the frame drop when you play your wmv with both xbox and pc side by side.
