Hi All, I've just installed PDVD9 Ultra (after getting a new HD TV). Blu Rays seem to work fine, although I have no idea if it is using DXVA (CPU usage ~25%). I have set DXVA to 'enabled' in the PDVD configuration but Paranoid Delusion quoted ~7% so I am not sure if my setup is using hardware acceleration. Is there any other way...

I use h.264 1200 kbps for SDTV (720x575 px, 25 fps), 2-pass VBR. But you can go down to 1000, still works very nice. For 720p I would use h.264 3000-4000 kbps VBR (1-pass average or 2-pass) at 25 fps (depends on the source, 24p, PAL/NTSC). 720p has about 2x more pixels than SDTV, so it should work at 2400 kbps above.

There wouldn't be IF that's all I wanted to do. But I want to be able to clone and port a complete MP install. Actually it was easy and works like a charm. I now have a multi-boot set-up with three bootable partitions, and I can port MP installs from one to the other without a hitch. If one MP install fails (and unfortunately it...

I almost had my HTPC the other day to a state where I had everything covered. The last issue I was having I could not resolve (ANYDVD locking up the system) and attempts at fixing it only broke Windows MCE 2005 more. I ended up reinstalling Windows only this time Windows XP Professional. A couple of things I just cannot get...

Hi etheesdad, I have a stable undervolt but it took multiple non-default settings to get there; - Disabling spread spectrum - Changing the "transition state" to "single" instead of "multi step" I run it now with 3 p-states because that was already a pain in the ass to figure out getting stable. I noticed that half multipliers are...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to remap the default keys in PowerDVD? For example, I don't want spacebar to be the pause button I want Tab. I am running PowerDVD Version 6 (Old I know) and I can't seem to find the option anywhere, so I thought maybe the newer versions allowed you to do so or maybe i'm just...

I thought PDVD was good in the beginning, but 7 didn`t support dual monitors. I upgraded to 9, only to find out that while dual monitors is supported on XP, it isn`t in Vista, and to top it off, in 9 they removed HD-DVD support. So, now I`m looking for a alternative.
