It used to work some time ago, but then I re-imaged my machine in order to switch to MP1.1. Since then I couldn't make HDTV run smoothly in MePo. Everything is like charm when using DVBViewer (~7% CPU usage) but as soon as I want to watch HDTV in MePo I get a lot of glitches, pixelations and heavy stuttering (~50-80% CPU usage - which means that always one of my CPU's two cores is under full throttle). Things I've done so far: [LIST] [*]I checked the registry, if DXVA was enabled for PDVD codecs in MePo [*]checked in GraphStudio whether DXVA is really being used (and is IS being used) [*]tried different Codecs (PDVD8 which came with my PowerDVD 8 BD Edition, PDVD8 which came with my TerraTec TV playback software, PDVD10, DivX H.264 Decoder and ffdshow DXVA) DivX and ffdshow used to have a smooth picture, but produced errors after switching to another channel [*]tried differen graphics drivers [*]disables miniDisplay plugin (I read somewhere, that in MP1.1 it would cause high CPU load due to a faulty DLL) [*]made some reg hacks with the ATI HD Reg Tweaks script [/LIST]However, it seems that I'm stuck. To my mind MePo's usability is at a very, very high level. But for me one of it's core functions is watching TV - and possibly in high def, as SD sucks on a 50 inches screen. I hope, someone does have THE idea what I should check or try. Otherwise I'm forced to abandone MePo for this release (WAF is key - and it's getting worse with every stuttering HDTV minute...) So PLEASE give me helpful hint, if you have one... Attached you'll find the logs. Please note that I DON'T have bad signal - it seems, that the TVServer is misinterpreting the data from the TV card's driver. DVBViewer is showing 98% signal quality. In the TsReader log I found a lot of late frame messages. Is this a symptom caused by the high CPU load? Or could it cause the stuttering? If so: how may I solve this? I have no clue... Any help is REALLY appreciated! Thanks in advance, Mat [/QUOTE]
