    Actually that's a symptom of a codec problem with WMP.

    DXVA = DirectX Video Acceleration

    Essentially something is glitching up in the playback path for the video. Try diagnosing it with G-Spot ( http://gspot.headbands.com ) or some similar program that shows you the render path for a particular file.

    Err... hold on, some links:

    Whenever I watch a WMV file, it places a file named "dxva_sig.txt" in the folder where the WMV is. I've googled it and it seems to be divx related, but didn't find an answer as to why it's created, or how to stop it from being created. The file seems to be useless, just the letter B. Not a...

    Some discussion there.

    Seems upgrading to WMP10 would fix it... that and the latest ATI drivers, it seems to be an ATI acceleration thing for certain Windows Media Codecs.

                    Get Media Player Classic, it's very good and looks like MP6.4

                                No, Guru, MPC only looks like MP6.4, it's heaps better (and plays quicktime and real video too, if you have the codec on your system). Just try it out, it's really a nice little peace of software
