Is it possible to use my Theatre 550 card to display a TV image without the visible MPEG2 compression artefacts in it? The Theatre 550 picture quality is pretty good, if it wasn't for the MPEG2 compression artefacts.

I'm using the NVIDIA PureVideo Decoder. Best codec I could find. The de-interlacing is set to optimum.

My question is this: Is it possible to either 1) bypass the encoding/decoding all together, or 2) increase the compression quality using a higher bit rate and other relevant encoding settings?

Anyone know? Or if you know of a different forum to ask this question, please let me know.

The ATi 550 based cards have selectable compression quality but I don't have one so I can't tell you much more. I think it's just a question of getting MediaPortal to set the hardware to use a higher quality setting and that would require developer info from ATi.

    I remember reading in another thread that was the case. They needed developer information that ATI wouldnt hand out so the 'extra features' the card sported were only usable in ati's own application. You might want to browse the forums a little more and read up on it.

    That was it! :) I had to set it to "Maintain display scaling". I think it was set to "Maintain Aspect Ratio", which added black bars to MediaPortal when playing videos that didn't conform to a strict 16:9 ratio, I suppose. Thanks to everyone for the patience and help, I can finally enjoy videos fully.

    I reinstalled 1.24 to get it back, however it was not included in that distro. I have no idea how I got that application in the first place. Anyway I got it back as described here above. I can send you the executables if you like. Let me know.

I am looking for a way to remotely control my HTPC, which is located in my home theatre room with a beamer and has Media Portal installed, from the living room, where there is a TV that is connected to the HTPC. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this remote control once the...

    MP1 MP2 Odd Standby issue DE
    Since I played around with all the settings as per the previous posts and despite putting everything back to how it was, as far as I can tell, now when my HTPC wakes up to make a recording it no longer does so in away mode. I will probably do a restore from a backup in the hope that that will resolve the issue.:mad:
