Well I had 42d on my install and it seemed to work ok. Changed to 44 like you said and now mediaportal fatally crashes after 20 seconds of viewing a TV channel?
It has still fixed channel zapping between different definition channels etc, I always get a good tune with audio and video, but now I have the mediaportal has stopped responding crashes. Whilst the screen is showing that message, asking wether to debug or close the program, the video is frozen but I still hear audio ok.
I will now goes to LAV 0.45 and continue to use MP like this.
Is the pdvd11 codec ok for you?
I find that if I tune to bbc hd from itv hd I get bad pixelation - it flashes a frozen image of itv hd continuously
I was using nostopmod v44 and thought it was that causing the pixelation, I rolled back to default to eliminate.
I don't see the pixelation with ms codec, but sometimes the picture pixelates mid stream along the top edge so thought I would try pdvd11.
I can reproduce this pixelation every time with pdvd11 set.
