My system is a pIII 933mhz, 128 mb ram (133mhz), 120 gb hd and i use a Hauppuge 350 for encoding and a xcard for decoding. My problem was that due to the graphics implementation of GBPVR my system lags when menushifting. I upgraded my pIII 733 to 933 recently and only a slight improvement was noticed.

Anyway this is what i found out:
1. Since my computer is dedicated for tv, video etc and I am using a hardware decoder I lowered my resoultion, on my built-in graphics card, to 800*600 and set the colors to 16-bit (you could go lower, 256 colors but for me it made no difference). This was a great improvement.
2. And now to the other big improvement. After my first "fix" GBPVR still lags when menushifting with the remote but not when using my keyboard, but I found that this was cuased by using direct access to the Hauppauge remote. When I turned on IR.EXE I now get almost instant menushifting.
3. I also noticed that when I have started IR.EXE, booting up GBPVR now only takes 4 seconds compared to 20 when I didn´t have IR.EXE running. I don´t know if this is general or if it´s just my system.

Hope this sheds some light for some of you and also I apologize if this has already been covered.

Great! I been looking for some info on this for a while now. To be honest I only just found the dark blue on black search button [Image: smile.gif]

I'm running a Mini-itx board with an 800mhz fanless chip for an ultra quiet system and I was really thinking I would need a new CPU. I can't wait to get home and try this, especially the IR lag fix [Image: smile.gif]

I've been so impressed the last couple of weeks with GB-PVR and it seems soon I will have everything working just the way I like. 100x better than the software included with the PVR350. Just need to solve some hangs now on Live tv.

Cheers
