[QUOTE="vbap, post: 19603, member: 11549"] OK, so here are some questions maybe someone can answer: When a TV show is recorded, or when timeshifting buffer is used, is the data stored already "de-interlaced", or is it still in the broadcast "interlaced" format? Since slayer, laeb66 and I seem to get the tearing issue only in Live TV, I'm wondering whether it's confined to a de-interlacing issue? If playing back recorded files or timeshifted TV no longer required any de-interlacing, and we get smooth playback of these files, then I can start to narrow down the various de-interlacing options. To the Devs, is the TV Codec we specify in MP setup used only for Live TV or for Live, recorded and timeshifted TV? If recorded TV is setup to be included in the My Movies database, when we playback recorded TV through My Movies, is the Movies codec used? Finally (for now), what is the impact of setting MP's Television "de-interlacing" option. For example, let's say I use the nVidia Purevideo Codec for TV. This codec has de-interlacing options (set via the taskbar app that appears when playing back live TV, or via dMan's Nvidia Decoder registry entries in Tips & Tricks forum).
