    I have a strange problem. HD material is running exellent. I have NVidia 8400 GS with that new chip G98 which has full HD support. Allthough I cannot get SD material to run as smooth and interlaced free as HD material. I've tried so far Cyberlink 9 SD coded with and without DXVA, Sonic, ffdshow,DScaler 5, mpc, archsoft, NVidia purevideo, Nero, Other Cyberlink versions. No luck.

    For example with material that has some text rolling in bottom of the screen text is suttered and interlaced somehow.

    So i need help, what others has to say about SD codecs. Which is best codec for SD and with what settings.


    regards,

    I also have problem with this.
    Horizontal scrolling text is really bad even though my refreshrate is set to 50 hz.
    I also have a Nvidia card. (8600)
    I've also played around with a numerous of codecs with and without dxva and nothing seems to help.
    SD-television has always played smoother in DVBviewer for me.
    It's not even comparable to my set top box.

    +1 on this, PAL TV with scrolling text is stuttering a lot. If anyone finds the golden formula, let me know ;)

    Come on people, where are the system specs (te3hpurp excepted), display settings (720p/1080i/1080p display), OS (XP/Vista), renderer (VMR9/EVR), video card driver versions etc ?

    If you want sensible suggestions, post more information...

    If you hit shift+1 on the keyboard (when running full-screen video), is the moving line broken or solid ? What FPS is reported ?

    Have you used GraphStudio - 'connect to remote graph'- to check if MP is actually using the selected codecs ? (you can also find out how the codec is connecting to the renderer too - normally it needs to connect via either DXVA or NV12/NV21 to get hardware deinterlacing - right click on a codec in the filtergraph to open the property pages).

    MPEG2 LiveTV - Cyberlink "CLVsd.ax" + DXVA = perfect deinterlacing and playback.

    Check graphstudio, mostly useless Microsoft MPEG2 decoder is in use until you unregister it...

    You know that XP doesn't contain the MS MPEG2 codec? Also that codec is not that bad at all.

    Bad experience remain in me from Vista and there are MS MPEG2 decoder, right?
    MPEG2 decoder with DXVA ON is important becouse of HW deinterlacing.

    There are screens: SW VS HW deinterlacing

    True that DXVA is required for good deinterlace (althou ffdshow has pretty nice software based deinterlace available, was it kernel?).

    MS MPEG2 decoder is DXVA supporting codec.

    I will post more details tonight after work.
    But I don't agree that Microsoft Mpeg2-decoder is useless. Great picture. Just as good as powerdvd codec.
    And I have checked with graphedit wich decoders are being used.

    FFdshow can do hardware deinterlacing too if you output the the right colorspace (NV12 for ATi cards).
