Nice to see SAF back!

I am using SAF250 and, with mkv files, I have a big problem: video, sound and sub titles are totally out of synchro.
I can change audio channel and/or subtitles with the "A" and "L" keyboards, the problem is only synchro.
Is there a solution to fix that, or is it due to my computer?
Thanks!

Hoborg, I didn't sent you a piece of my video because I disabled the sub titles (in SAF250) and it seems now that the sound is synchro.(This video is a HD 720, mkv)
As I like to understand the things, do you have any idea of why?
I use SAF250, XP, Pentium4, 1Go, and NVidia 5600 (not very good for HD because this is old!!)

Thanks in advance

Indeed its highly likely that its the slow CPU as rendering subtitles needs to take a full copy of every video frame during the process.

Don't really know if SAF is the main couse of my problems, but I thought I'd mention it....

I had RC3 working perfectly with the standard filters, PowerDVD 7.3 filters and CoreAVC, but the main thing I was missing where subtitles. So I decided to install SAF2.5 a couple of days ago. AFter that all video's played very nice, with subtitles. Hurray!

But since then live TV is stuttering, some channels only show 1 frame and then seem to lock up. Though no program is 'hanging' of locked. After uninstalling SAF the problem stayed. I wasn't able to get TV going again. A new install of mediaportal RC3 didn't fix it. Problem stayed.

So, yesterday I reinstalled VISTA and RC3 of Mediaportal; no extra filters or codecs. TV works again. I installed SAF301 after that. Problem was back, even worse than before. No TV channel played properly... even when selecting for instance the PowerDVD codecs which worked always very good; not now. Uninstall of SAF again didn't solve the problem. Lucky for me I made a restore point before installing SAF301. Reverting back to the restorepoint gave me good working TV again.

That is realy wierd. SAF don't modify system, and if you uninstall it, SAF remove all registry entries.
Can you try to install SAF, start your not working TV and connect GraphStudio?
Your TV is HD/SD?
What decoder you are using for TV decoding?
Are you using TVserver?

Hello.

Snader:
Could it be that your previous installed MP was RC1 or RC2 and not RC3?!
Because there are a lot of People with the stuttering live-TV-problem (me too).
In my case SAF had no effecht. i hat this stuttering with ffdshow and i tired to deinstall this and installed SAF 3.01 and this had no effect.

 

[Snader]

RC3 for sure. Never had any problems with live TV... even not with RC1 and RC2.

First I will make a restorepoint and then I'll try saf3.01 again.

Having two FloppyDTV's, windows vista 32 bit by the way...

Well, after installation, it seems to work perfect! That's great, but Ill probably never know what caused the problem...
