SYMPTOMS
========
When playing videos in Mastering Microsoft Visual FoxPro, you may experience
choppy videos.
CAUSE
=====
The choppy video playback is usually the result of a slow transfer rate from the
CD-ROM drive. This can be caused by one of the following three factors.
- There may be a terminate-and-stay resident (TSR) program or disk-caching
program that is slowing the transfer rate from the drive. Remove unnecessary
TSRs from your Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files and from the LOAD= and RUN=
lines in your Win.ini file.
- The CD-ROM drive may not be Multimedia PC (MPC) compliant and may not meet
the transfer rate requirement. Upgrading to an MPC-compatible CD-ROM drive
will eliminate this problem.
- A lack of available memory (RAM) can cause choppy playback. Adding additional
RAM speeds up the playback.
RESOLUTION
==========
Identify and eliminate the cause of the problem.
STATUS
======
Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
