Hi, The last few weeks i've been in the process of putting together my own htpc. I've spend a few weeks on these boards looking for answers and new ideas. I really love how gbpvr works compared to the competition.
I managed to get this far on my own, but now i feel i need some help.
The topic title says it all i think, whenever a camera pans you see a u stutter in the movement, and the picture gets blurred. I tested with a few codecs today when a footballmatch was on. (Intervideo, nero, cyberlink, nvidia, elecard dscaler5 etc.)The best results i got were with dscaler5 (bit blurry) and nvidia.Same with recordings and on monitor and tv.
Nvidia is great for 10 seconds, then it goes to jerky video mode and back to great quality ? and on and on and on.
Dscaler4 produces very watchable smooth panning video.
Setup:
Amd 2600
768 mb DDR
Radeon 9600 pro (omega drivers) normal 16:9 connected to tvout
160GB seagate barracuda
Win xp pro + sp2
I'm having a little problem with DVD playback. I have powerdvd 6 installed and that works fine for playing dvds, but when I play from GBPVR, the picture is like semi scrambled and sounds is very choppy.
I've tried using different decoders for the dvd, including the cyberlink ones for both video and audio, but the same thing happens. Not sure what to try next, any suggestions? Thanks
I have approximately 150 movies on (S)VCD disks.
I'm looking for an elegant way to play them in gbpvr.
Right now, I've selected the DVD player as a folder in Video Library, which requires me to select the mpeg2 folder, and manually play the aviseq01.mpg
It would be nice if there were a way to play them just like a DVD, using the DVD button.
Does anyone else have a solution?
On another note, gbpvr displays them in the proper aspect, but doesn't fullscreen them. There's about a 100 pixel border on all sides.
Any ideas?
I have noticed that when I capture with my Sapphire Theatrix, whatever capture settings I set I always get an mpeg file with the high bit rate settings.
This does not happen with my 2nd tuner the WINTV-PVR150. With this one I can set whatever bit rate settings I want.
I have noticed that the same problem happens when I use the Teatrix with Pinnacle Studio 9.3.
Does anybody know if this is a problem of the ATI drivers or the software?

I have a hauppage 150 and ati radeon 9250 with video out and a rogers digital cable box.
What's the best way to hook up all the wires. I want to be able to watch live tv with pause/record through the tv.
* installer
* installer will not override settings.xml
* if dvddrive and daemon tools drive can not be found in settings.xml
will use the gbpvr one in config.xml
* show runtime for main movie title
* can hit ctrl-r on the title to decrement by 10
* fixed the bug with .. can now browse other drives.
* added title detection in its own thread.
* add mouse support for the 6 buttons on the left.
* add logic for multiple mvps, till I have time to test it or someone
can help me ( 2 mvps not needed). You must enable it manually in the
settings.xml
to test multimvp
in the settings create a entry in
/settings/MultiMvpMode
<MultiMvpMode>true</MultiMvpMode>
It will create a file called c:\temp-MVPXXXX.mpg
it will also create a file called
c:\temp-MVPXXXX.mvp which contains a process id for the associated vnc.
So we can kill it, without affecting the other mvp users. Not a big
deal since most people dont have the processing power to transcode two
streams at once..
