Hi, this is my first post I hope someone will be able to help.
I currently have a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T and an Nvidia 6200 based graphics card, I was curious if anyone else is using these cards and if so what playback and DVD decoders have they found to work best with them?
Recently I done a bit of a hardware upgrade to my HTPC and re-installed the OS and the latest version of GBPVR (0.97.7). Since then when I try to watch TV, quite a few of the channels seem very jerky (not a constant video or audio) and changing channels seems to go slow as well. Watching recordings or avi files works fine.
I was previously running GBPVR 0.96 with an ATI Radeon 8500 64MB, and I did not have these same problems.
I have not yet tried going back to GBPVR 0.96, as I assumed that these problems are more likely to be with the setup of my new graphics card. If anyone has a similar combo of hardware I'd like to hear about what sort of setup you have found provides the best performance.
The current Playback Decoders available are:
InterVideo NonCSS Video Decoder (currently selected)
InterVideo Video Decoder
MainConcept Video Decoder
I am also running on VMR9, tried 7 and overlay but did not make any difference to the playback.
Current Hardware Config:
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
768MB DDR
Asus A7N8X Deluxe (Nvidia Unified Driver v5.10)
XFX 6200 256MB AGP (Driver v84.21)
Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T PCI (Driver v2.5.24111, from latest CD image download on there website)
HDD1: Samsung ST240016A 40GB IDE (OS, Windows XP Pro)
HDD2: Samsung SP2504C 250GB SATA (Recordings)
Previous Hardware Config:
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
768MB DDR
Abit KR7A-Raid
ATI Radeon 8500 64MB AGP
Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T PCI
HDD1: Samsung ST240016A 40GB IDE (OS, Windows MCE2005 & Recordings)
Thanks for any help you can give.
