[QUOTE="abhansali, post: 308703, member: 82909"] Hi, I'm kinda of new to MP. Setup an HTPC a while back with Hauppauge 1800 and also MP 0.2.3.0 Beta. But it was a little buggy and since I could not view encrypted channels (HBO, etc), I put the project on hold. Now I recently got an HD-PVR and decided to try again. First I setup ArcSoft TME and it works good - cranked the bitrates all the way up. Then I put on GBPVR and managed to finally get it configured so that the video/audio is running just as good as the ArcSoft TME - it is almost perfect (just slight sync issue with voice, barely noticeable, maybe I'm too critical). But I want to run MP because of the features. I followed the procedure in this thread and got it working, but the video is very poor. It looks like it is running in slow motion (after the glitches in the first 15 sec). And if I get out of fullscreen and try to use the arrow keys to scroll through menus while the video is running in a window, the whole MP system is running slow. I'm using Arcsoft video for H.264, but for Audio I'm not seeing Arcsoft so I'm using Monogram. Also, I've tried EVR and VMR9 exclusive, but don't see any difference between the 2, so I've put it back to EVR. I've also set priority of TVSERVICE and MP CLIENT to HIGH. I'm seeing about 25-30% CPU utilization for MP, so it does not look that bad. Also, I reopened ArcSoft TME and I set the bitrates all the way up. So any ideas why my video is running so poorly in comparison to GBPVR and Arcsoft TME? If it is just because the HD PVR support is still "work in progress" let me know, but from reading this thread, I get the impression it is working much better for others.
