Hey...to everyone..thanks for jumping in.
The majority of the problem with PLAYBACK was an old Flash plug-in issue with Firefox causing the video to jerk inside the browser. Updated the FLASH and the only jerk left was slightly north of the keycaps!! video smooth.
The CPU peaking (during rendering AVCHD in PD
was the reason I upgraded from 32bit to 64bit in the first place. Unfortunately, Nvidia HAS no new drivers for the GT230! (mine are APR2009).
ALSO, I found out that this card is NOT on Nvidia's "supports CUDA" list!!
I can't get a definitive response from them, but looking at the list, they go from 220 and skip to 240 cards...230 is noticeably missing. I love it when I buy an Edsel, BetaMAX, HD-DVD,all the other things I buy that disappear!!
I have the SPLASH player and it works fine. I hesitate about installing TOO much in the way of codecs, etc. until I get this issue worked over fully....I need no NEW options!!
Sorry this whole post has been "rambling". Let's close this one and I will report later on the 100% CPU utilization in it's own post (I DID after all hijack this one!!).
