[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1202836, member: 82144"] This suggests you don't trust/believe me. :( Ultimately that's your prerogative... but why reach out for help if you're not going to take the well-meaning advice that's offered, right? Two simple questions: [LIST=1] [*]How do you know this? [*]Do you know what the video would look like if deinterlacing were [B]not [/B]working? [/LIST] To me this is a strong indication that deinterlacing is [B]not[/B] working fine. Normally that 1080i @ 25 Hz setting should not (I'd almost go so far as to say "never"!) be used. Instead you should be choosing 1920 x 1080p @ 50 Hz. If that 1080p @ 50 Hz setting doesn't look good, it's an indication of deinterlacing problems. The solution to those deinterlacing problems is not to attempt to work around the problems by selecting 1080i @ 25 Hz. Rather, it's to recognise the problems for what they are and tackle them head on. There's not... and as I said above, selecting that 1080i @ 25 Hz option is not a good solution for the problem you're facing. Yes it might give you good looking live and recorded TV, but as you said yourself, it doesn't work out for other non-1080i videos. Of course. That's 100% expected. What you're doing when you do that is [I]setting the PC output to 1080i[/I]. That's a really [I]really[/I] unusual thing to do. Normally people would set the PC output to 1920 x 1080 [I]progressive[/I]. There will be a corresponding 50 Hz selection when you select 1080p. Of course. I'd expect nothing less. However behaviour with the inbuilt tuner [I]should [/I]differ from behaviour with a PC connection. That's not surprising if deinterlacing is not working with MediaPortal. Again, that's not surprising... and it should tell you that the problem is with the PC settings. How do you know this? I strongly doubt it. No need to apologise. :) I think I understand your issue, but you're telling me that I'm "over engineering a little", so it seems you think I don't understand. I guess you have to decide whether to trust me/us or not. Yes it's no, as I confirmed above... but as I also said, in my opinion your original question is the wrong question to be asking in response to what you're seeing. If you want to make progress in the long run I'd suggest we step back a bit in the short term. It would be really helpful to have log files: [LIST=1] [*]Close MP. [*]Set 1920 x 1080 [B]p [/B]@ 50 Hz in NVidia control panel and on the TV if possible/relevant. [*]Start the MP Watchdog tool. [*]Select option 2 (since you're using Argus) and click proceed. [*]Demonstrate the problem by viewing 1 minute of any of your recordings. [*]Close MP. This should trigger the Watchdog to produce a tidy zip file containing all the relevant log files. [/LIST] Please attach ("upload a file") the zip file produced by the Watchdog to your next reply. If you can, it would also be really helpful if you could attach a short video (cellphone?) showing the problem on your TV during step 5. [/QUOTE]
