[QUOTE="ajp8164, post: 554792, member: 64375"] [b]Codec behavior - ArcSoft/CoreAVC/PDVD[/b] Hi All, I have ArcSoft (latest updates), CoreAVC 1.8, and PDVD8 codecs installed. I also have the latest HDPVR drivers installed. * With ArcSoft I notice zero problems. I switch to the codec fire up TV and it works fine. * With CoreAVC I notice that the audio/video is out of sync when TV is switched on. If I pause or rewind and then resume play the audio/video is back in sync. Is there an understanding of the problem (and subsequent fix)? * With the PDVD8 codec I get frame rates of 30 (verified using shift-1). I installed the PowerDVD 8 trial version linked in this thread. I read in this thread (posts around June 2009) that others experienced this drop in frame rate but I did not see where there was a solution. I did see that some singled out this codec as being the best one to use (is this based on image quality or something else). I am using the ArcSoft codecs because I don't like fooling with work arounds. The only thing that bothers me is that the image quality is a bit softer than I'd like. My source is a Directv H21 receiver outputting 720p. I suppose that since the HDPVR is sampling an analog stream (component video) then there is bound to be some softening of the image since A->D conversion does introduce rounding and estimation at its core. I am running an SVN build that I created (24535). What codecs are you using? Are you happy with the image quality? Is it comparable to your source-direct-to-tv or is it softer? :thx: [/QUOTE]
