NB30 – Video Playback Stutter while Adapter Unplugged

[Mouldread]

Hello guys,

that’s my first post on the forum I’ll try to keep it short and simple.

I got a Samsung NB30 a couple of months ago and it works well so far.

I have upgraded it’s memory to 2 GB using a Crucial 2GB DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 Laptop Memory.

Now the only problem I have encountered so far and what I need help with is the following:

During a video file playback (for example .avi) I get a stutter in the sound every 2-3 seconds as far as the adapter is unplugged. As soon as I plug the adapter in the stutter disappears and the playback is flawless.

My first thought was the Battery Manager. So I adjusted the Power Scheme settings to be exactly the same for unplugged as for plugged. Unfortunately it didn’t change anything. I still get the exact same problem.

Any ideas how to fix this? I want to be able to watch a movie on the go without depending on the adapter all the time.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

P.S. I hope this is not going to become a double post but I got a message as a new member I am not allowed to post links so I removed both screen shots frommy original post.

Sounds like the Processor speed isn’t at maximum while running off the battery. What Media Player are you using to watch the video? Some are more intensive than others, might be no harm to try a light one like VLC instead of Windows Media Player for a netbook for example.

Also is it for every video or just high quality ones?

Hey,

thanks for your reply and your suggestions.

1. As a new member I was unable to link both screen shots I took showing that I have set up Processor Speed to be “Max. Performance”. So this isn’t the case.

2. Now about your second suggestion.

This is going to make you laugh :p

Initially I was using VLC as it’s my favorite media player. However… I decided to give Windows Media Player a go and guess what – it works perfectly. No more stutters – just flawless playback.

It doesn’t make much sense to me as I always thought VLC was much better, lighter and more stable media player but ..oh, well …these are the facts.

So basically – problem solved.

That is bizarre, maybe if you mess with the settings on vlc you could get it to work properly. But at least you can watch videos I suppose.
