Blurry recording and playback for high motion!!??

[nv40]

Thanks...i'm gonna go try some other decoders. Just wondering why switching to vmr from overlay manager would have cleared this problem up a little though....i never messed with the decoder option when i did that?

Well....i tried the nero video decoder. picture quality looks a little better, but same problem. It's blurry....but consistent under "video overlay", and sharp but sometimes jerky (like it's skipping a frame or two every now and then) under vmr9. Guess I'll keep playing around a little more. If this only happened under live tv i wouldn't care. But the recordings come out the same way.

Are you using DirectX 9.0c? This is known to cause jerky playback for a lot of people. The very latest update from Microsoft finally cleared up the jerky problem for me and some others, but some people still find they have to use the quartz.dll file from 9.0b.

See the sticky thread at the top of this forum. Your description of the problem was exactly what I experienced.

Which one?

Not Nvidia if that was what you're thinking
I'd rather not say, and probably shouldn't have posted at all.

Did this problem happen when you recorded also, because mine does. If I record something and then play it back on a totally different computer, it shows up......so i know it's not just a playback issue with my gbpvr cpu, but I will go get that file and try it.

Of course the other computer could be affected by the directx problem too, but if you're sure it's the file that's messed up then it's not the directx problem or decoder related. In fact, if the file's messed up switching from vmr to overlay won't have any effect either. None of these come into play when the file is recorded, so if the file's messed up, I'd look at your recorder's driver.
