When I was first dealing with the topic of the thread (the intermittent motion blur) I didn't realise that it was a deinterlacing problem. I assumed that I was overloading my CPU. To deal with this, I installed AVIVO codecs, which claim to utilise the GPU on the video card, instead.
Now, I can record as much video as I want with no problem; even four sources at once (2 hi-def, one SD and another from the net). However, as soon as I WATCH video while even one source is recording, the recording turns to jelly (metaphorically speaking of course; if it were literal, I would at least have jelly to console me). It is worse when I watch HD than when I watch SD, and it is fine when I watch a simple low-res MPEG1 file (340x288). This seems to indicate that I am overloading the GPU, which is now trying to do the additional work of transcoding my recordings.
I never had this problem before, so it must be based on something I have installed. I have been focussed on the fact that I installed Catalyst 8.11, but pBS and other experienced members tell me that is the best choice for my x1250 adapter (and, indeed, the imaging did improve when I wasn't recording). So, the other two things I installed was ffdshow and those Avivo codecs.
The only flaw to my theory is that UNinstalling both codec packs has NOT fixed the problem. However, when I installed the codecs, I was able to view MOV and WMV for the first time. Surprisingly, now that I have uninstalled them, I can still watch MOV and WMV. Are shards of them hanging around? Would using the "remove everything ATI" utility get rid of them?
I am convinced this is not based on general system speed or stability. My drives are in IDE mode, but both using Ultra DMA 5 or 6. The CPU is not spiking significantly during these activities.
I've got Prime TV (thru DVB-T) which plays back live and recorded shows on the main machine no problems. But on the PC client, while it starts OK, it consistently freezes or skips ahead. Skipping ahead and rewind also do not work consistently (i.e. skips a random amount of time). Really weird as all other channels are great. Nothing in the logs that looks weird. I've got the same codecs on both machines. I've tried Graphedit on the client, but in all cases when trying it on the lastgraph.grf that GBPVR produces, it crashes so I can't determine if the same filters are used. Anyone else notice anything similar with Prime on GBPVR clients?
I am having trouble logging in to web scheduling from outside my home network.
It seems to be a password problem, the logs in the gbpvrpublic.dll directory repeatedly show failed matches of password hash. Question How do i change the password. If I change it in config, the change seems to get ignored. Even if I disable web scheduling, and delete the user name and password, the same nine character password seem to appear in the password box, even though the user name is blank and the web scheduling is disabled
hi,
I am a new user gbpvr.
I would make the transcode from file.Ts to file.mpg with zprocess2 entering the command line in postprocessing.bat.
I already saved the profile "2mpg" and tried to insert the command line as explained in the site gbpvr.
Unfortunately the result is that transcode does not start and I get the request to indicate the path to the origin and destination.
Although I have indicated the location of input and output files, the problem occurs again and do a test I entered the following command prompt: ZProcess2 %1 Trans2MVP auto.
I tried both with the profile 2mpg that trans2mvp, but without success.
Where am I wrong?
Does anybody have recommended settings to get GBPVR running on my system? I am just slightly under the recommended minimums. I had been using an older version of GB-PVR before I had to format my hard drive and lost the install file.
Is it even possible to run GB-PVR 1.4.7 on an AMD Athlon 1.33Ghz processor?
I reinstalled Windows (it's been a while). I am trying something a little different this time around. I wanted to use the QAM's on my two HVR-1600 cards (well, actually I'd be fine trying just 1 for starters). Anyway, I think things are going okay so far (thanks to the websites) except any time I try to watch a channel (doesn't matter if it's digital or analog) my video crashes - hard. Crazy patterns and colors, followed by a VPU recovery. I haven't changed my hardware really (same video card). I'm sure I don't have some tweaks and decoders and stuff that I used to have, I was just trying to get the basics working.
My event viewer has this message (may be from the previous crash).

I'm having trouble add a Hauppauge 1250 as a capture source for QAM channels. I go into the congif:
-add capture source
-recording source "digital recording plugin"
-settings: select "only show devices on this machine" and select "Hauppauge HVR-1250 MCE (QAM)"
-no epg (will adjust once I can add the source)
when I exit out of the config is acts like it is crashing with no responce for 15-20 seconds then eventually exits and disappears. the 1250 is working correctly in WinTV. I attached my logs thanks for your help.
Can anybody advise on the best resolution to use in slick for pictures in the background? I assumed it would be the resolution of the display in use - i.e 1920x1080, but pictures in this res get cropped, and the small part of the picture left is then 'zoomed' to fill the screen.
I tried some of the (very good) Windows 7 1200x800 pictures in the menuart folder, and same thing - they get cropped, and also become very dark - lots of the detail is lost.:confused:
