makenithappen Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I am running watchout 5.3 and having trouble with video playback. It is very choppy. A noticable pause every 3 seconds or so. This seems independent of codec or resolution. Are there any know issues with this?

Thomas Leong Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I've had it happen to me...but NOT on a Watchout system. Try to play the video with Windows Media Player and vlc outside of Watchout. Does it run,pause, run,pause...still occur? If yes, at a guess: - try re-coding the video(s) with a lower data rate - try a lower resolution video If no, it could be that some other codec has taken over the running of videos in Watchout. This can occur with a recent instalaltion of some other software. Step backwards and un-install any recent installations. At worst, re-install Windows, and thereafter, Watchout.

makenithappen Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Sorry I went off line for the show on this. I ended up getting this to work by re-encoding to mpeg2 720p vs. h264 1080p. I had to test several codecs before landing on this one. Thanks for the replys.

Jonas Dannert Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 At what bitrate were you trying this? Hardware? Please see this forum post/pdf on encoding: http://dataton.com/forum/topic/288-mpeg-settings/page__view__findpost__p__2369 /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
