- xbox extender - dvr-ms - great - mpg - lagging
- Posted by mike@wisnet.com on October 5th, 2005
I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this one.
When I stream dvr-ms "recorded live tv file" to my xbox xtender it
works great.
When I stream a mpg file I get an msg box coming up saying network
congestion and the video is choppy and no sound.
The dvr-ms file is at least a gig while the mpg file was even smaller.
Could this be my codec? I have everything hardwired through a router.
I am using the nvidia codec.
I have the ati ehome card and i have a ate x300 card w/128ram pci
express

I suspect that the MPEG file includes an audio format
that is not supported by the extender. Only MPEG-1
(Layers 1 and 2) audio is supported.

That is possible. Although in the past I have watched the videos and
they were fine. I also opened up the task manager and monitored
network usage.
The dvr ms was ^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v
the mpeg video was \ /

Yes i think that is the case. Other mpeg files are working looks like
I used a bad one to test with. Mpeg in general dont work as well as
dvr-ms? dvr-ms network uses alot more bandwitdh and doesnt jitter at
all. Is there any explanation for this?

The MPEG encoders found on TV tuner cards are generally of above average
quality, which is why DVR-MS generally works well. In contrast, software
MPEG encoders are of dramatically varying levels of quality - some are quite
good, while some generate files that are remarkably atrocious. I've seen
MPEG files where the audio and video are skewed by 15+ seconds, files with
important video headers completely missing, and files with gigantic jumps in
the time stops. These types of errors are not conducive to smooth playback
:-)

Its funny that you brought up the tv tuner card. My mpeg playback was
working pretty well on the extender untill i added a tv card to my main
computer and changed my mpeg encoder to get live tv! I originally had
an older power dvd drivers and changed them to the nvidia drivers. Is
there any explanation for this?
