[QUOTE="ajp8164, post: 736905, member: 64375"] Hi Wile E., I went through the complete set of setup instructions using the ati5000 doc after uninstalling the shark007 package. It appears that I am now getting dxva compression - I checked the graph properties video output parameters and it indicates [dxva] next o bitCompression. Problem is now that I get dropped frame continuously (at one point I noted ~2400 rendered frame with ~1500 dropped). Also, when I first tried everything (after setting up exactly as in the doc) the sound was just scratchy-clicking; unchecking "Connect as PCM first" seemed to clear that problem up. My graph shows audio and video rendering using MPC codecs. I expected to see the ffdshow audio codec being used(?) My CPU use is around 50% now. I still don't get how the TME software gets ~20% CPU. I'll keep working with the settings; I'll take additional advice/things to try ;-) Thanks for your help! ========== UPDATE: I've been making different settings changes and I think i'm back to the settings suggested in the ATI5000 doc. I'm still getting dropped frames though not as many as when I started <scratch-head>. On shift-1 I see that the three lines are remarkably flat with green and yellow on top of each other and red two blue line above (not sure what this scale is). I measured a random minute and I dropped 40 frames during that minute. I also notice that the whole screen flickers/flashes - this does not appear to be detected as a dropped frame in the shift-1 data because when many of the flashes/flickers occur the dropped frame value does not change. The flashing/flickering is a much bigger problem than the detected dropped frames (this definitely needs fixing). The flash/flicker appears as one or more inserted frames from a few seconds ago (the flash of the frame seems fast enough that it's a single frame). Forgot to mention; using MP1.2 code freeze (beta candidate); should contain all of mm's changes/updates. Wondering if the problems are due to an under powered gpu (onboard hd3200)... so I just ordered an hd5450 ([URL="http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R5450-MD1GD3H-LP.html#?div=Feature"]MSI R5450-MD1GD3H/LP[/URL]). Can also get my 512Mb RAM back for the CPU. [/QUOTE]
