Watching videos on TV from ATI Radeon 9800 AIW is not very smooth.

Happy Holidays!!

Has anyone noticed watching videos (DVD movies, video files, TV shows,
etc.) isn't very smooth on TV output compared to the computer's video
screen? I am using 640x480 NTSC M, clone overlay (Theater mode, same
as source video, and 4:3 standard TV).

And yes, I do use my computer to watch TV shows because I can use MMC
v8.8's TV-on-Demand program. Please remember even if I am not recording,
it isn't smooth on TV. It is like 30 FPS on computer, but 25 FPS. I can
tell the differences. It doesn't matter what player I use: Windows
Media Player v6.4, MMC, QuickTime v6.5, etc.

I am using Windows XP Professional SP1 (all updates) on an Athlon XP
2200+ with 1 GB of RAM and Catacylst v3.10 (seen this problem in older
versions). Also, using AGP 4x.

Thank you in advance.

This helped me,

I made batch file (below) as my shortcut to run the atiTV:
It runs ATI multimedia in "realtime" mode thus taking more of the comp
resorces and better performace

Good luck

start "" /realtime "C:\Program Files\ATI Multimedia\main\ATIMMC.exe"

Isn't this the same setting when picking processor usage during MMC's
wizard?
