[QUOTE="logifuse, post: 821965, member: 110442"] Hi guys, DPC latency was all clear - it was the first thing I checked after the problems I had with my Shuttle XS35GT fanless PC. I'll follow up with the other items ASAP, but out of curiosity I installed XP on it & tracked down some drivers to get it all going. The result was that MP running the PureVideo decoder is smooth as silk for all channels except a 720p one (I've always seen this issue with PV as it doesn't see the channel as progressive & attempts to deinterlace it - the thumbnailer can't cope with it either). The worst channel before was a 1440x1080i anamorphic one (One HD) which is the highest bitrate channel here. On XP using PV it was perfect. Obviously I don't have access to all the EVR stats, & the ATI decoder was a bust (despite consuming the same CPU & GPU percentages), but it was a very strange result. The main issue with XP is that it won't wake properly due to my SSD, so I have to hibernate. It's a possible solution, but not a great one. Any thoughts on alternative decoders to try in XP? Power DVD, but an older version? I tried Bitcontrol, but it was a bust. MPC struggles due to the lack of DXVA. I partitioned the hard drive so that I can do a dual boot, so I'm about to reinstall 7 64 bit on it & get back to isolating the issue. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with how old the ATI XP drivers are? The best I could find (due to the Mobility Radeon & XP) were 10.1 (8.700.0.0). I suppose I can try old drivers in W7 & see.
