I have been having problems with media player since beta two. It has been
very sluggish and whenever I open it, it totally monopolizes my CPU cycles.
Yesterday, I went through my video files and found all of the files that
media player was having problems with. They were mostly MPGs. The files
were just bad. Once I got rid of them, media player is working fine. It is
no longer taking up all my CPU cycles, and it is running smoothly.

I am amazed and just thought I would share it.

but do you have 5.1 sound?

Alejo,

I have Vista installed on two machines, one is a desktop PC, and the other
is a Home Entertainment PC. I do not have 5.1 sound on the desktop PC, but
I do have 5.1 sound on the other machine, and it is working fine. The home
theater PC has more Processing Power than the other so it does fine, but the
desktop PC has had more of a problem.

it sounds like there is a combination of driver and Media Player 11 problem.

I-tunes the sound works fine. i will try and see.
