Hi.

First: I did search forums. but could not find the topic were this issue was mentioned(or was it an "issue")

Anyway. I have XP sp3 in main use, but have win7 as test platform(when wife and kids are out....).

So would somebody explain why win7 x86 & dxva with cybelink is so unstable ??. I remember some of the dev's mentioned in some side clause that it's tsreader that is not working wery well.

I have done these preparations: Unregistered(registry tweak for preferred codecs) ms dv codecs, deleted ms codecs.
I have working set of cyberlink codecs. v9 for sd and v8 for hd. dxva is set:ON for HD material.

I get good and clear picture 1/10 times when i try. Other 9 times HardDrive led starts constant blinking, like HD is running like hell and MP is just frozren dead.

So Win7 x86 & NVidia G98(8400 gs) chipset & Cyberlink 8 HD codec is it possible to get it work ?.

I Love Win 7 for all other plus things it brings. Overall directx performance is lighting fast compared to xp. And much less hickups in SD livetv.

Does TsReader log show any oddities?

Only those:

07-09-2009 19:33:23.708 [1054]Vid/Ref : 10.262, Late ?-frame(00), Compensated = 2.500 ( 2.141 A/V buffers=00/01), Clk : 0.359000, State 2

lines with first and second values increasing. Starting from 0,0.. something and then i press reset button at some point.
usually they get to somewhere 25 sec before i kill whole thing. It's a bit strange that sometimes it works, but most of the time not.
Could it be some timing issue ?.


regards,
