Hi,
I've always used VMR9 in MP in Vista. I was happy and I love the picture quality and stability. Now, after upgrading to RC3, I've found this combination to casue (at least, but not limitted to):
-MP hang when stopping live tv
-Pictures "gone" in MP-TVSeries and Home Menu after viewing regular video
-Black/weird screens after viewing regular video
-MP hangs when pausing video
I've changed from VMR9 to EVR, and all the above are gone. But now I have to face EVR. Maybe there's something to configure that I'm not aware of, but so far I don't like EVR too much because:
-I find EVR with poorer PQ than VMR9 (blacks aren't as black, colors aren't as brigth and picture in general is not as crisp and nitid)
-HD videos (720p videos) play tearing a lot with EVR, and with high CPU usage. With VMR9 they play smooth and CPU is silent.
Any recommendation regarding EVR? We'll have to get used to it, as it seems we're now forced to use it...
Take care,
fitto
