    Hiya!

    Oh dear. I've just watched a v-v-very j-j-jerky episode of Despra' Oul' Wans that was recorded from our ntl digital signal via our computer (Vista Home Premium) and played back in Windows Media Centre.

    We've had sooo many problems with this Vista/WMC set-up.

    For ages it kept mucking up the recordings - recording only a few minutes of each programme or not recording them at all.

    So we upgraded the Vista TV pack and now (touch wood) the recording problem seems to be resolved.

    Except that both live and recorded TV has a very jerky picture.

    Had anyone had this problem? Any suggestions for fixes? (We've already tried to reinstall an older driver but the problem is still there)

    There was/is lots of issues with playback of MPEG video on vista. Your best bet is to make sure all your drivers are up to date, you have all the windows updates (inc. Vista SP1), and most importantly get some good codecs. My preference is the k-lite codec pack, this includes ffdshow which has always sorted it out for me.

    Bingo! Thanks Steve. It was indeed the updating of the drivers that was required. Now I'm enjoying lovely, smooth tv. (A lot less tiring)
