[QUOTE="rmeredit, post: 298319, member: 49299"] [b][Update][/b] A quick update on this issue. I just decided recently to try out the latest PowerDVD codec (version 8 - I previously had an OEM version of version 6 installed). Despite the problem with seeking being present with all of the different codecs I had installed at the time, PowerDVD 8 seems to help out significantly. Despite some problems with the audio side (the Cyberlink audio codec caused MP to lock up), I managed to get the Cyberlink video codec running alongside my nVidia audio codec for MPEG2. Ffwd and rwnd are now fairly usable. They're by no means perfect - there's lots of lag, especially when starting seeking, but the video updates, as does the OSD timeline, to the point where I can use it properly. I tested several videos including live DVB playback as well as recorded files (MPEG2, both SD and HD - no h.264 broadcast here, so I haven't tested that). I also configured DVD playback to use the new codec (including audio) and seeking works well there also (slightly better actually, than TV). I'm using VRM9, but I'll give EVR a whirl later to see if there's any further improvement (or otherwise!) there. Oh, and I'm using .ts rather than .mpg in TVServer. So perhaps some useful information there for the devs. Also, a possible workaround for others experiencing the same problem. Remember you only need to install an evaluation version of PowerDVD 8 to get the codecs, no need to register/pay. Cheers, Rob [/QUOTE]
