Turn off all other apps when using MM. Include internet/firewall/anti-virus
etc. Defrag the hdd before use. Do you have a seperate drive to save video
to?
It could be that the graphics card drivers need updating, directx is now up
to 9.0c, update wmp to version 10 and try installing windows media encoder.
If non of this works, look at the acceleration settings of the graphics
card.
Have a read of
www.papajohn.org problem solving accelration and codecs and
also video.
