Synopsis::

The video output is interlaced and very slow.

Tried re-installing a few times and updating everything, even downgrading media portal.

Not sure what the problem is.

Its not just watching TV, any video media I watch has the interlacing problem.

Also I do have 2 monitors except the TV is set for primary monitor.

If I use any other media player I don't get this issue (even if they use the nvidia decoder or not).

so if you watch a video in windows and it plays fine on the tv ? but if you play the same in media portal it is choppy? , does your tv accept that resolution, its quite high , just curious to know?

yeah the tv doesn't have a issue with it.

its just 1080i

pritty much if I use any program to view the video file or run the software that came with the TV tuner to watch TV there is no problem, but once I use media portal the output is interlaced which is also taking up alot of cpu resources causing the display to slow down (enough that it can't maintain the FPS of the signal in full screen).

pritty much it would help to know how media portal builds its graph for the video stream I guess to figure out what is causing the issue with the output.

(anyone else had this kind of problem is so please reply how to fix it).

I'm sure its just a filter is mis-configured but I can't find it (yet).

nVidia 91.28 doesn't deinterlace on TV output here (at least with VMR9). Use the latest official non-beta driver (84.21) and all will be ok again.

As video codec I'm using PureVideo decoder 1.02-200.

Checking 91.31 now, btw. Will report back.

No go with 91.31 either. So the last working one (at least for SVideo/VMR9/PureVideo) that's performing as expected is 84.43.

ah so it was the drivers.. go figure. (was running out of options with graphedit).

Anyway thanks mPod.

(tries out the drivers)

... they must of updated purevideo recently (running 1.02-196)

I'm using component out for my TV and have a LCD connected through DVI

running the TV at 1080i and set it as the default monitor (hoping it might help)

Alwell that was simple... video drivers.

Thanks mPod for the tip.
