Windows Media Player 9 Codec May Not Play Back Video Stream with Broadcast Quality in an Auto-Start Broadcast Publishing Point (813405)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 Series for Windows 2000
  • Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 Series for Windows 98 Second Edition
  • Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 Series for Windows Millennium Edition
  • Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 Series for Windows XP

SYMPTOMS

After you encode a video stream to an auto-start broadcast publishing point, a virtual directory for delivering live stream media, the Windows Media Player 9 codec may not play back the video stream in broadcast quality.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if the codec intermittently outputs the video stream with a less than broadcast-quality frame rate. For example, the codec that uncompresses the video stream may output a frame every two seconds which causes a choppy appearance to the video stream.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
