Strange MPEG2 video

[blizard]

Hi!

In most cases all my recording look ok, but lately there are some very weird looking MPEG2 recording.

I use Theater 550 pro with both driver from ATI (AVIVO and those from Theater 550 Pro).

My setting in GBPVR are Cyberlinks Video/SP and audio decoder, but I play my recording in most cases via MPC and FFDSHOW (date and version from video decoder of FFDSHOW nov 17 2006:msvc 2003, x86, unicode).

Bitrate in capture for GBPVR: medium at res. 720 x576 (PAL), 3500-7200 (Variable), audio 384@48 KHz.

I have also tried VLC, PowerDVD and all these player show the same problem.

What is it and is that related to driver or codecs? I would not think codec as every player show the same problem.

Can anybody point me in the right direction for what this is? Is it a problem related to bad hardware (theater 550 pro hardware encoding) or anything else?

Same file begin with a normal video and audio which gradually get blocked like this from the same Danish channel over cable. I don't know if this could be a problem originated from the original source -broadcaster TV2 Denmark- where they might have some trouble during broadcast, but this have also happened on other shows I have recorded.

My computer should be up to the task as you will see from my signature here, so I don't believe it is related to weak performance in hardware.

This implies the problem is occuring at record time rather than during playback. All this is done in hardware with th 550 Pro though so not much you can tweak. Might need to try a different version of the drivers.

The ATI 550 isnt overheating?

How can i check that isn't a problem with heat?

My case should be rather cool as I Abit microGuru report temp of CPU: 34, NB: 39, System: 33 and PWM: 35.

My video card are under it as Powercolor theater 550 pro is a PCI express x1 card and there I had free spot to place this card. Video card should not create to much heat as it Catalyst Overdrive show 54 degree C in normal desktop use.

I come to think of that could have something to do with changes of AVIVO setting in Catalyst. Is it possible if I make some changes in "AVIVO Video" in Catalyst during recording that it might cause this kind of recording?

Thanks for your fast replay.

All temperature are in Celsius degree (SI).

Moving it away from other cards that generate lots of heat, or try some other way to keep it cool, then see if problem continues.

I recently had a problem with my machine rebooting at random times (most days). After moving my Twinhan card from the slot next to my video card's heatsink this problem went away.

Maybe - I dont really know.
