Hello everybody,

since I'm building up my HTPC I have a lot of trouble. First with hardware configuration, now with the software, especialy mediaportal. With my last installation I have following problems:

1. Using EVR
As long as I'm using no external player (VLC, PowerDVD) everthing is fine. But after I'm using an external player I can't look TV with EVR: Sound is there, but no picture. Screen is black. After changing to vmr9 I have the problems like this: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/get-support-90/funky-tv-rc3-anyone-found-solution-46954/

2.Using PowerDVD for looking HDDVD
After I looked a HDDVD (I'm using the HD plugin), the frequency is fixed to 24 Hz though I had adjusted 50 Hz.

3.Quality of TV picture
Especially the skincolours of faces are washed-out, so faces are loosing dimensionality.

That's all for this time and I hope someone can bring me out of frustration

This tutorial may give some information how to get the best from your ATI card.

Very good advice ! I'd installed this and now I have really brillant TV picture without ffdshow. That was my solution to use ffdshow, but this filter needs CPU preformance. And now I don't need it.

Thank you!

I wonder, that I have no possibility in the CCC menue to allocate this settings !?!

So 'caus it seems that you are the expert: Do you have any idea why EVR don't work under my configuration?

Every time hen I switched from vmr9 to EVR I have only sound at myTV but no picture. Only sometimes there was a short frozen picture for a short time, but after that the screen is black.
