[QUOTE="TheBatfink, post: 838520, member: 52265"] Hi, so I basically had issues with poor playback so I upgraded to a SSD system drive and aa GT430 graphics card. I uninstalled SAF4 and the LAV filters, then reinstalled SAF6. I have had varying degrees of sucess but the more I mess with codecs the worse my playback becomes right upto not being able to get the channel to open anymore.. So I have uninstalled SAF6, reinstalled it (again selecting that I have a AV receiver attached and that it is not HD) and not touched anything except set the codecs in MePo in the hope someone can advise me before I screw things up. I am using 276.42 Tesla drivers for my GT430.I connect to my AV receiver with spdif. So fresh install and in MePo I have set in the TV codecs section Mpeg Video ffdshow video decoder h264 video ffdshow dxva video decoder Mpeg AC3 audio ffdshow audio decoder AAC divx aac decoder DD+ ffdshow audio decoder Audio renderer default direct sound device I have looked in the ffdshow dxva video decoder and h264 is ticked for dxva codecs. Here is what I find.. SD channel 25-45% CPU usage 3 dropped frames in 6000 drawn (I think the drops happen when opening the tv guide) flat graph plays ok HD channel Takes ages to open the channel, when it does there is no sound. If I change the audio stream to the mpeg one and then back to the AC3 stream audio is ok. 55-60/65% CPU usage (same before and after I select the audio streams to get the sound back) 1000 dropped frames in 2500 drawn :/ graph is everywhere Can anyone help me diagnose the issue please, the more I tinker the bigger the hole I seem to get in :( Thanks! --------------------------- Uninstalled SAF, got the latest MPC standalones and registered the MPC video and MPA audio filters. Seems much better and GPU is definately working now as CPU doesn't go above 30% for the most part. Not exactly sure what SAF is good for now.. Certainly hasn't helped me play anything back. [/QUOTE]
