Video playback unbearably choppy

[applo]

Hi. I can neither play live tv or recordings without getting audio and video that is incredibly choppy -- maybe one frame per second -- through GBPVR. WinTV2000 plays and records just fine. What might the problem be?

Hauppauge PVR150
VIA EPIA M10000 1GHz
512 MB RAM
DMA enabled

You have the same type of computer as I do. Start off att the "safe" settings, that is use overlay (as opposed to VMR 7/9) and use the intervideo decoder that comes with the hauppauge software. VMR9 renders badly on my system. If you have set gbpvr to use a decoder that uses a lot of cpu power, that might also be a problem. Cyberlink works failry smoothly. Or, as someone said in another thread, it might be something completely different =)

Hm, the intervideo decoder and overlay setting have sped things up considerably. Where do i set Cyberlink up?

Also, the On-screen display makes everything slow down to a crawl again, which is sad -- how did you fix that?

Thanks for your help!

Sorry... I meant to repeat "Intervideo". That said, Cyberlink *does* look a bit nicer, IMHO, but uses significantly more horse power. I stopped using it because of that. Cyberlink decoder ships with PowerDVD.

Agreed.

Who said I did? Seriously though, I learned to live with it. Our computers are just too slow to handle it.

Thanks for your help!
