Well, I've used Microsoft DTV-DVD encoder. For me it gives best result (with DXVA) when watching demanding high bitrate videos.I tried all above 800 in the afternoon and had no trouble playing them. What filters are you using to play? I tested with LAV.
Now I've tested that one, LAV, Cyberlink, ffdshow DXVA and MPC.
What puzzle/annoy me is that I get different result with different Live streams.
When watchin "Olympic tourch in London" I can only watch 5-8 s, then it stops/crasch ( see mpg from MS and LAV encoders ).
Only encoders working on that event is MS and LAV. ( I don't know if in sync video-audio)
Attached some log files.
When watching News later on, only ffdshow DXVA and MS is working.
ffdshow DXVA working good but with bad picture quality. MS good picture but out of sync a.s.f.
