[QUOTE="hoborg, post: 365602, member: 77164"] Well, this is my own experience: Comparing Vista EVR and XP VMR9 - same picture quality, on vista a had some flickering GUI, DVD playback was "hanging" - stops to response to remote commands (i have same issue if i choose EVR in XP as renderer but becouse i a m using VMR9, i dont care about this anymore). In Vista, i have problems with my remote after wake up from S3, i must click on mouse in MP to make remote working - no idea why. Boot in Vista takes ~90s for me, in XP ~30s (time from turn on HTPC power buton to MP starts to response to remote command)s. After Vista boot and MP start, Vista using harddisk a lot, no idea why, maybe some caching service, this slows MP a lot - XP didnt do such a thing. I modified XP boot and remove all signs of Windows. So now if i boot, there are no one windows logo, no windows message box, only "loading Media portal", then black screen, then starting Media Portal :) I think such tweek is not possible under Vista. I had Vista 64 SP1 on my working computer (original DVD). After ~90days i got BSOD when booting (same in safe mode), repair from DVD didnt work, so i decided to "upgrade" back to XP SP3. I think there were more thinks i hate about Vista, but i cannot remember just now... I am using "modified" Windows XP version from torrent (my original are dusty forgotten somewhere :)) - this version have integrated all updates from '08, WMP11, frameworks, latest DirectX, etc. Install such system is really piece of cake, just install XP (+registry tweeks to autologin, remove some screens, etc...), drivers, MP, SAF and here we go). 45min and HTPC is ready for use. Again, all this is my own experience. Right now i am really happy with XP setup. :cool: [B]SAF v.3.30 out: * MPC-HC filters updated to v.1.2.977.0 * MPC-HC Xvid&DivX decoder replaced by xvid.ax decoder (DIVX,DX50 and mp4v only) = better video quality thanks to postprocessing * added possibility to choose DXVA when using PowerDVD CLVsd.ax. Note: DXVA mode doesn't working witch Catalyst 8.12 on XP. * inside "saf330.zip" you can found "Gray.to.black.gama.fix.reg" file. Double click on it and press yes to apply gama fix for PowerDVD MPEG2 decoder (DVD's, LiveTV - not h264). This will change gray to black color. It is working only in software mode.
