Hi everyone out there.

I have a little problem, I have set my refresh rate to be 50Hz but when I start live-tv or a video it goes down to 25 Hz, see screenshoot below. Shall it be like that? Because sometime I get 50 Hz even on live-tv and then sports like hockey looks mutch better, but when I have chnged channel a couple of times the rate goes down to 25, can some explain that to me. I have tried differnt codecs, but can get it to work. Hope someone can help me.

Sure you were using this codec all the time (w/same settings)? If I remember correctly you will get 25FPS when not using DXVA.

(But I'm getting old, so hopefully someone can confirm or falsify this )

How do you get the FPS to show on your screen?

 

[rekenaar]

If I recall correctly, you get it by entering ! (exclamation mark). Not sure if it is possible without keyboard.

Your codec needs to be able to deinterlace in HW mode. In Vista I use Microsofts codec and in XP I use Ffdshow with deinterlace set to kernel bob

thansk for your answers, shall test it to night.

I had this when using ffdshow, when using just PDVD I get 50fps

Usually software decoders decode the 50 interlaced content to 25 progressive. MP rendering is locked to the video frame rate during video playback.

OK, does that mean that I cant get 50 fps at all or what shall I do?
The live-tv doesn't look good on just 25 fps, I cant watch is-hockey or any other sport that is fast, it looks terrible.
Hope someone understand what I mean.

If you are just using PDVD8, and have hardware deinterlacing then you should get 50fps
