Ok, just to set the scene I have just gone from a 32 inch 4x3 CRT TV where I was using the svideo output as my primary monitor with the 4x3 TV using screen res of 800x600.
I have moved to a 16x9 LCD TV and I am now using the SVGA connector as my primary with the svideo disconnected and a screen res of 1280x720
The problem:
I am trying to watch the boxing and the hands and action is just moving too fast it is like instead of 25 fps (PAL) I am only seeing 12 fps not jerky as such but you miss some of the action. I have gone back to using the SKy source directly to the TV for now untill I can work out what is causing this issue.
Any suggestions of things I should setup/change in my settings would be really helpful.
I am using an ATI 9600pro if that helps anyone identify an issue.
I can't ajust the refresh-rate lower than 60 Hz, but in PAL-land i think it would be very good if one could go as low as 50 Hz(TV set's nativ resolution (I recon, this is 720x586 @ 50 Hz interlaced) to prevent any unnecessary scaling).
I had my first problem recording last night. The recording service crashed halfway thru the recording of one of the shows that I had scheduled to record. The show still shows up on the recordings screen but when I try and play it, it will just jump straight back to the recordings screen. Attached is the log files. I'm still on version 99.12 if that helps.[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
Ever since getting a dvb card i have never been able to get a perfect recording from beginning to end
it always glishes at some point (often at between 40 and 45 min toward end of hour show)
i have the 1307 mux which seems to have helped
the thing is cause comskip runs the cpu at close to 100%
is it possible that its causing my problem
i havent yet tested my theory cause i like comskip
i also have a pvr150 and pvr 500 but they are analog with encoder bla bla so they are fine
If you run the config app, go to Plugins tab, Add a folder, and move a single item into the folder, then run pvrx2 and select the folder, when you have the Back item selected it's in the middle as expected, but the single item isn't.
When I skip a commercial or jump forward by a minute, the picture stutters very badly until I jump backwards. At that point it plays ok. If I don't skip things look very good. Any ideas?
