[QUOTE="DreadFury, post: 661414, member: 96011"] DOH! my mistake, I must have been looking at someone else's flag in the earlier posts when I was thinking that, I don't see how I could have mistaken the flags so blatantly, my apologies. low signal can have a profound effect on your quality, your stats sound pretty good tho, if it is STEADY between 49 and 50 and you only have 12 dropped frames (after how long?). did you say this happens with video unrelated to your TV viewing/recording as well? Codecs can definitely effect picture quality as well, have you played around with any other codecs and noticed any difference, at all? If your framerate is steady and you don't notice any spikes after watching for several minutes, my guess would be codec or codec settings related. Try turning on the dshelper stats (shift-1) again and letting it run awhile and watch it, see how consistent it is. if it sometimes jumps up and down, even a little, this can really cause unpleasant results. If it seems smooth and steady, try some other codecs on for size to see how your results vary, you can always go back to the one you're using now if the results aren't to your liking. I personally have had the best luck using the MS windows7 codec, the Arcsoft codecs, and the CoreAVC codec. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
