[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 283013, member: 14004"] Have you tried setting any of the interlace settings from auto to forced or something similar? When I built a HTPC for my parents, image quality was one of the largest factors I considered. I knew that my father would complain if the picture didnt look just as good as it did on his stand alone DVD player since he's a bit of an A/V-phile. I used FFDshow tryouts with an ATI 9550 card in their system - no CCC, no purevideo decoder, just the driver and ATI tray tools for configuration of VSYNC and other miscellaneous settings. Interlaced content was the only hurdle I encountered to resolve picture quality issues. Sporting events, news programs, and some live TV shows are all shot and trasmitted interlaced, so recordings we being played back with a low and stuttering framerate. I tried various interlacing settings in the driver, in the VMR filter, but the best setting I used was hardware de-interlacing in FFDshow. This made the picture identical to anything that was coming out of the STB. So resolving picture quality issues can be difficult, but they really can be overcome. [/QUOTE]
