I get blurry tv compared to the Compro program and the tv is jumpy as is the sound.

How can i fix this?

Try updating to 0.2.0.4 as many improvements.

If you have not changed any settings, then MPV and MPA are your codecs.

These are found under settings with MP running, or in MP setup, with MP not running.

Have you got any unneccessary Windows processes running in background, which will knock your processor speed right down and affect MP.

Easy test, with fullscreen tv running, hit cntrl, alt, delete and see what your processor running at, anywhere 80 - 100% will give you problems, especially spiking at 100.

Also with the windows Task manager open, gives you a chance to see if any other process is interfering, using valuable cpu time.

Yes those are the codecs being used. I changed them to the Compro ones with no avail

No excess programs are running and i have cut down the services running too.

I have checked the CPU and its 50% (max) when watching TV. (Thats in windowed mode)

I will try upgrading and report back

I tried updating, it hasn't helped.

Should i install the purevideo codec?
