Compro DVB-T200 dropping picture + Dscaler codec stuttering

[domb]

(I'll add the template info when I get in in, honest!)


Hi all. Im new to mediaportal, just wanted to say its fantastic! I've been having problems finding a codec however. When using the MPV/MPA codecs the aspect ratio is slightly out, regardless of set-up. 16:9 is too squished and 4:3 is also.

When using dscaler and selecting the correct aspect ratio option this is ficed, however, after a minute or two it begins to stutter and and slow. This also happens when changing channel and I end up having to close media portal and re-open it to solve the issue. The most success I have had is with WinDVD7 codecs which seem to solve both problems, however, I would rather use a free alternative such as Dscaler.

Anybody had these issues? I have also seen the patch for windows XP which is supposed to stop stuttering, anybody had any success with this?

My last problem is with the Compro itself. Sometimes when changing between different muxes i drop signal completely. But restarting MediaPortal (or DTV for that matter) normally solves it. Anybody found a solution for this?

Thanks for any advice!
