LCD TV and external AMP - Video Delay

sepp776 · 2008-06-26, 11:11

Hi All!

I'm having the problem that my picture is always a little late compared to audio when watching TV or video. As far as I read this is normal because picture processing in LCD TV's takes some time.

Since probably most of you have a flat TV with picture optimization, I would like to know what you did to solve this.

What I tried already is enabling Audio delay in FFDShow. I use 200ms for all channels which gives a good result. But it seems as this would not apply to AC3 audio. So it's no solution for me.

Suggestions appreciated

CU,
Sepp.

I had this problem when running MP on WinXP. Installed Vista and the problem disapeared...

hmm, I'm using XP, too. But how can the problem be related to the OS? You want to say there was no more video delay after moving to Vista?

I don't know what was causing the delay on winXP, but when I installed Vista the problem went away...

I solved this problem by using nvidia purevideo decoder for video, and under the audio settings have it set to default audio.
