MPEG2 playback smoother (1 Viewer)

[sco]

Hi there troops!
If I play back a MPEG2 file (that was recorded in MP) in the software that my chosen decoders come from, the playback is remarkably smoother that playback of the same file inside MP.
Did you get that? Bit complicated, hows this...
1.Record TV in MP
2.Playback MPEG2 file using POWERDVD software...MMMMM nice
3.Playback same file in MP...not as good :-(

One thing I did notice is that when opening the file in POWER DVD, it gave me a message that suggested that De-interlacing should be turned off for HD media playback.
So I set the de-interlace setting in MP to none...(to tell you the truth I don't see too much difference between any of them)

Does anyone have any suggestions on a box I could tick?

Thanks for reading
cheers

For this one you should really use the support template, or at the very least tell us what codecs and settings you are using.
It's possible you are using a codec that doesn't support hardware DX9 and so MP is rendering this with CPU. PowerDVD may not have the same overheads and as such can spend more cycles on smoother playback.

If this sounds like your issue, then give us more info and check out some of the tips and tricks for smoother playback.

Sorry Marcus and others I will look for the template. I tried my best with the info that I put down the bottom of my post. I'm not as PC savvy as some

I thought that it was obvious in my post that I was using the POWER DVD codec in MP.
I also noted that I have the de-interlaced switched to none.

I think I'll install the new update to 2.0.0.4 before I bother the forum again.

cheers
