[QUOTE="sylvester1, post: 302893, member: 81075"] [b]Solved Tv1-3 and C4 on a low spec system with HD3850 AGP[/b] After a bit of a battle I have beaten TV1,2,3 and finally C4, TV6, 7 etc. into submission. Just a post for your information on my settings in case any of you are struggling: I have a Windows XP, Mediaportal RC2 with latest SVN (mediaportal-svn-09-06-2008--11-16-Rev20143.rar). Hardware is a 3Ghz P4, 2 Gb DDR and a couple of sata drives and one ata for recording. I use one of the sata drives for timeshifting. Graphics is on a Sapphire HD3850 AGP and TV card is Nova-T-500 My main problem was that using the Cyberlink Powercinema h.264 decoder (it came free with my Nova card) in MP I could only receive TV1,2 and 3. C4 would completely lock up the machine. However, if I used CoreAVC (which I bought) I could watch C4 no problem but the machine really struggled with TV1-3. This seemed to be due to overloading the processor (bouncing off 100% usage). Basically, I needed the Cyberlink decoder to use the hardware acceleration on the graphics card but there seemed to be a problem with the interlaced modes that C4 uses. So as a last ditch attempt to get things going, I downloaded the free trial version of PowerDVD 8 and told MP to use that h.264 decoder instead. And magic, it all now works fine! I'm not sure if I am going to have to buy the decoder in 30 days (end of the free trial) but hopefully not as I've not even opened PowerDVD and don't intend to use it. If I do need to shell out $50 then its cheaper than the other option of new motherboard, processor and graphics card! Other settings are: MPEG2 decoder: Cyberlink video /SP decoder (PDVD8) H.264 decoder: Cyberlink H.264/AVC decoder(PDVD8) Audio decoder: bitcontrol mpeg2 audio decoder LATM: monogram Audio renderer: default directsound device Deinterlace mode: bob -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All the options for VMR9 selected and gaussian quad filtering. If you need any more specs, reply to this thread and I'll do my best to help. Have a good one! Sylvester [/QUOTE]
