[QUOTE="WileECoyote, post: 514861, member: 83474"] I have made some serious changes to my HTPC this week, and ended up with an interesting side affect.... No jitter after channel changes. It all started when I received my new receiver. I have been wanting HD Audio on my Blu-rays, so I ordered a new Harman Kardon reciever that handles Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD. I then ordered a new audio card (Asus Xonar HDAV 1.3 slim.) I couldnt fit the card into my slim HTPC, so I ended up replacing the motherboard from a Intel DG45ID to a Intel DP35DP. In so doing, I then had to install a video card (no onboard video) so I installed a NVidia 9600GTO card I had laying around. So this is what I ended up with hardware wise... Intel 2.66 Core 2 Quad 4GB OCZ Memory NVidia 9600GTO Video Intel DP35DP Motherboard (Onboard Audio Disabled) Asus Xonar HDAV 1.3 Slim Audio Card Pioneer Blu-Ray/HD-DVD/DVD/CD Drive Patriot Solid State 64GB Main Drive Seagate 1TB Data Drive Hauppauge HVR-1600 (QAM & FM Tuner) Hauppauge HD-PVR's (Directv) Okay, on with the story... So after installing the new hardware I installed the Total Media Theater software supplied with the Asus Xonar card. After a day of fiddling, I had no luck getting the software to even start. So I ventured over to the Arcsoft site and purchased the TMT 3 Platnum version for my BD playback (the Asus Xonar cards only work with TMT, not Cyberlink PowerDVD.) After installing the software I was able to play back my BD in Windows 7 with full DTS-HD & TrueHD audio!!! Woohoo!! So after that victory, I went back into MP and to my displeasure, my Cyberlink video codecs were not working well at all. The screen would flicker constantly and if I were watching TV, anything I did (open the guide, browse MovingPictures, etc.) would cause the screen to do all kinds of wierd stuff. Since the video is now sent from the NVidia card and passed through the Asus Xonar card onto the receiver via HDMI, I was very suspicious that it was an issue with my new receiver. So I spent several hours searching for a working solution. So two days later..... On a whim, I decided to switch my video codec from Cyberlink to Arcsoft and viola, everything started working great. Not only was the screen now stable, but there is no jitter between channel changes!!! Which change made it work I have NO idea, as many, many things have changed. [B]Before [/B]the change I had the following installed... Arcosft TMT (version that ships with the HD-PVR) Cyberlink PowerDVD 8 (to use video codec in MP) Cyberlink PowerDVD 9 (For Bluray playback) ffdshow audio Codec (TV & Video) [B]After [/B]the change I now have the following installed... Total Media Theater 3 Platnum (for Bluray Playback) Total Media Theater (that ships with the HD-PVR... now used in MP for video codec) ffdshow audio Codec (TV & Video) Im pretty sure that the H.264 codec in MP is still the old codec, but Im not 100% positive. Only one version shows up under the H.264 options in MP, and it doesnt identify the version in like the Cyberlink codecs do so I cant tell. If there are any settings I have left out, or anyone would like more information let me know... Wile E. [/QUOTE]
