mp4 playback stutters in media center

[CubaMAN]

hy there,

I just tried to play some mp4 files (h264 video and aac audio) with the
ms windows 7 media center. The playback stutters about every 10 to 30 seconds.
When I try playing the file directly in the windows media player there's no
stuttering - I don't really know why

I tried to change the aac audio settings on the SWAP tab but the program tells
me to restart using administrative rights to be able to change the settings.
Unfortunately I already launched it as admin.

Below I attached my settings. If you need any more information just tell me.

Having UAC disabled is a problem. Please re-enable it for the settings to function correctly.

Rightclick the settings application shortcut and choose Run as administrator
use the Reset All button.
On the H264 TAB, selecer Divx's codec on the righthand side.

Thanks for your quick response. UAC is enabled.

I did the reset the way you describe above but there was still the message
that I have to use administrative right. After that I reinstalled the codec pack
and set to use the Divx codec. Unluckily there's no change in the playback
... still stuttering.

If I try changing the aac codec he wants me to restart using administrative rights.
Is there anything wrong with the installation?

That's funny. It's exactly what I did. I tried the same on my notebook
and there it works perfectly. I think there's something wrong with my user
accunt on my desktop pc. I will create a new user and try it again later.

Changing the aac codec to use FFD fixed the stuttering problems.

Thank you. I will tell you if it works on my desktop as well.

This is the reason my settings application offers so many choices. There is no one set of configurations that will work for everyone. Once you have settings that work for you i also suggest you get familiar with the Save/Restore options of the MISC TAB.

With the new user account (win 7) it works fantastically - no more stuttering.
Thanks for the hint. I will save the settings now :-)
