[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1157535, member: 82144"] Using VMR9 is [B]not [/B]recommended for Vista and newer. Please do [B]not [/B]use it. To be clear: presumably WinTV is using the Hauppauge/MainConcept encoders, but I don't think there is any way to know if they are configured in the same way as TV Server is using them (video standard, frame rate, bit rate etc.). My point is: [LIST=1] [*]MP and WinTV are not likely to be using the same encoding settings, so you are not comparing apples with apples. [*]You cannot blame MP for the behaviour of the encoder. It is a 3rd party component. We only have very limited control over the settings (bitrate, mode etc.) in some cases. [/LIST] If the ATI encoder is okay, why don't you just use that? The 2 problems you have had until now are: [LIST=1] [*]Motion. [*]Picture/video quality (noise). [/LIST] In the first case: ATI encoder does not have the motion problem, so it is superior In the second case: we agreed the noise problem is likely to be related to A->D converters, therefore all encoders will show approximately the same picture quality. You also previously said that the ATI encoder video quality is just as good as MainConcept even though it has lower bitrate. ... so now I don't understand what you are hoping to gain by using the MainConcept (or other) encoder. :S The fact that all software is equally affected tells me the cause is either the hardware, driver, or settings. My advice is to check the video settings: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/5_Scan_Analog#Video_Parameters[/URL] Better to reset them to default, then restart the PC (to ensure the change is effective).
