[QUOTE="phertiker, post: 148665, member: 13471"] Athlon XP 2200+ (1.8ghz) 1GB DDR SDRAM ATI Radeon 9600 XT 128MB - SVideo out to SDTV at 1024x768 Pinnacle HD Pro Stick USB or whatever the hell it's name is Windows XP SP2 My OS drive is a Seagate 7200RPM 40GB. I've got a Western Digital 120GB and a couple of Seagate externals (USB2). ATSC TV works 99% fine. The audio is crystal clear and skip free, but the video skips every few seconds. Video and audio seem to stay in sync just fine even with the skips, and the picture (when not skipping) is fantastic. This may be due to antenna placement; I had to move it around quite a bit as is to get the signal I've got. My apartment is built like a bunker, and there's a tall bunker between me and the antenna farm. I'm currently using Purevideo codecs. I am able to play 720p anything: h.264, mpeg2, xvid, whatever. I can also play 1080p xvids, and 1080i transport streams. anything else 1080p is completely out, as you might imagine from the hardware list above. I use CoreAVC for h.264 decode. I believe the ability to play anything at 1080p is more to do with the output resolution of 1024x768 than system ability. Because of that this may be a useless post, heh. However, it would be sweet with an older projector only able to do 1024x768 or 848x480 or something... [/QUOTE]
