Slight but Annoying vid corruption on ATI HW (1 Viewer)

[Alderian]

Simple problem - no idea of solution.

Changed HTPC to using an ATI HD3650 from a nVidia 9800GT (so the 9800GT could go in my PC for games playing).

Since installing it, installing the AVIVO package and telling MePo to use the ATI MPEG Codecs for DVD and h264 my MKV's have been playing with tearing and other odd time based problems such as a complete face slipping slightly for a plit second.

Any advice?

Why are you using ATI codecs? I would just install the Cyberlink MPEG codec and the MPC H.264 codec and use those I believe both are part of the MPC standalone filters package (newest SVN available at ??????? ???????? - XvidVideo.RU)

I was going to start a new topic, but this sounds the closest to the issues I noticed. I just bought a new 50" plasma and I have been studying video quality from different sources. My conclusion is that the videos and DVDs played on my computer are pixelated only very slightly. I was comparing the new Star Trek on DVD in my cheap Sony non-upconverting DVD player with both the DVD files in Mediaportal as well as playing the same DVD in the computer with PowerDVD.

The scene where the robot cop gets off his bike to give the kid hell, when the camera switches to the cop, he looks a series of horizontal bars for a second. Its quite definite when you notice it and its not like other pixelation? The DVD player looks smooth and without any lines or pixels showing.

The graphics card is the ASUS EAH4350, Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU. I have the standard codecs from Mediaportal I believe. Is this simply a graphics card problem, or something else? I was hoping that the computer would be better since it is upconverting to 1080p by itself. Oh, I also have the computer connected with VGA cable, but I didn't think that would matter? The card has VGA, DVI, and HDMI outputs.

Thanks
