[QUOTE="TheBatfink, post: 938973, member: 52265"] I have only 32bit Win 7 installed so any more ram wouldn't show up anyway would it so trying a ram disk may prove difficult. Regarding the HDD for timeshifting, it is seperate from windows OS but is an older drive and also likely to be a 'green' 5600rpm type. The motherboard and drive are also definately only SATA2. It is purely used for live recordings and timeshifting though (and the folders excluded in Microsoft Security Essentials). I don't have these issues with 720p and 1080p h264 .mkv's, it does only seem to be on the live TV. The drivers on the motherboard for SPDIF are either Windows Update or from Gigabyte, maybe it's something to look at, but thinking about now I'd assume it this would manifest in all media and not just live TV if this were the case. Having to decode the signal couldn't be having an effect could it? That's handled by software / plugin / usb card reader. Maybe its worth benchmarking my graphics card / system somehow and seeing if something shows up strange?! Whats a good tool for doing that these days?[DOUBLEPOST=1354632203][/DOUBLEPOST] I noticed the other day Windows Update kindly decided to update my Card Drivers from the Quattro hack job ones to presumably the latest certified ones from Nvidia. Straight away this sync problem (audio ahead of video) manifested in both my live TV AND static .mkv media files. I put the Quattros back and my .mkv are fine again. I'm sure I'm not dreaming these sync issues! [/QUOTE]
