hi,
i'm really struggeling with getting smooth playback for quite some time now. this resulted in giving up hope on my old machine at all. i recently got a hugh hardware upgrade (switched from AMD x2 3800+ / nForce4 Board / ATI X1800XT / 2GB Ram to above SystemSpecs) and decided to give it another go. even bought a Windows 7 license to make sure vista was not to blame
after stresstesting the new hardware and setting up my system / mepo i ran into the same problems again:
i just can't get smooth playback with evr (no matter what kind of media i play: liveTV SD or HD, Xvid/Divx, mpeg1). when i switch to vmr9 playback gets smooth as butter, but i get alot of stability issues (mp crashes randomly when chaning channels/playing another video; missing buttons and display corruptions in skins).
here's what i tried so far:
Codecs: SAF 4.0 unlocked; SAf 5.0 unlocked; CoreAVC 2.0; PowerDVD 7; latest ffdshow tryouts;
downgrading gfx driver (since i heard the latest nvidia drivers have problems with evr sync in MPC-HC, is this related anyway?); ReClock (vSync adjustions not working, vSync cross never moves to the desired position); turning vsync in driver on and off; stress-tested my hardware... just to make sure
now i'm out of ideas and left with the choice: stutting playback or instable mp... AGAIN!
TV (primary monitor when using MP) is running at 1080p / 50Hz, playing PAL media with 25fps
monitor is running at 1680x1050 @ 60Hz (primary when in "desktop mode")
shift-1 show low to 0 dropped frames depening on codec
i think this has something to do with evr sync but i'm really no pro on such things, latest evr.log supply
any hint would be really aprreciated. if more logs or logs with a specific codec setup are needed please say so
