Question

I have exactly the same problem(s). When watching football the image seems to get blurred when the camera follows the players with some speed. It looks like the image makes small steps instead of a smooth movement. When the game is located on a particular point and the camera is not moving, the picture is very good. I'v tried all kinds of configurations in MP and FFDshow, but haven't been able to solve it yet.
Anyone ideas what to do?

See my long reply on the first page of this thread for some sugestions...

First one for you to look at.. Dont you ask too much from your Graphics card? (set it to a lower resolution then 1080P)

Second..match your output with the TV input

Third, make sure you use TV signal out put (HDMI) and not the PC format (VGA, DVI-A)

I actually did sort it. I tried every single codec I could and I finally stumbled apon windvd9 aka intervideo. It is much faster than powerdvd or any other I tried. It works brilliant now when I watch footy

[edit]

I also run 1920 x 1080 @ 50Hz

@Bigflause:
Downloaded the trial version of WinDVD 9. But cannot find the codec back in MP config. Do I need to take extra steps to use it in MP?
