I have downloaded and tried a number of different codecs to see which one had the best quality. I only recently found out about GraphEdit and lastgraph to see which ones were actually used. To my surprise, eventhough I selected NVIDIA decoder from config, it is not used at all. In fact in was using mpeg2dec. I have started using the Radlight filter program to change prioirities of the various decoders, some even had to be unregistered before I could change them being the default.
One thing that was surprising was that GBPVR config program does not give the same list of codecs that could be possibly used. It there a settings file that needs to be updated to influence this?
Currently I have just two options in config. Hauppauge Intervideo or Nvidia Decoder.
No matter which I select, I get the intervideo one each time according to GraphEdit.
I have tried changing the priority to make the NVIDIA the preferred one. Perhaps the trial period has expired. I didnt really expect it to make a difference, since my card is so old anyhow, but wanted to compare it with the intervideo hauppauge one. Probably, the hauppauge is the best anyhow.
Looking at a number of other posts, I noticed that the graph diagram for intervideo varies. Some people have more components than I have. Is there a optimial or recommended number of steps/components for using the hauppage intervideo codecs?
P.S. Sorry for another post on codecs. Some of the older members must be getting fed up answering these questions. But to be honest, it is the one area I spent the most time tweaking. GBPVR is a great program with lots of functionality, but I primary use it to view recorded programs from my cable.
