To make the registry changes do the following:

Click "Start" and then "Run"
Type "regedit" (without the quotes) in the box
Then navigate through and make the changes csy suggests - you may want to note down what they were initially set to before changing them
DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE!

I'm sure ubu will drop by and leave some settings for you, failing that drop 'em a PM.

To adjust your refresh rate:

Right click on the desktop
Click on the "settings" tab
Click "Advanced"
On the "Monitor" tab adjust your refresh rate

csy,

There is no InterVideo folder in the Software folder. I guess that is what you were saying you werent sure about. Or maybe you were saying somethign else wont work? I guess Ubu knows the way to acsses it so if he doesnt chime in by the end of the day I will pm him.

Just one quick question, is this going to mess up anythign else if I adjust this like this. Will it decrease performance or mess up my games or anything. I just want to be sure. Thanks guys.

PS I just checked my monitors refresh rate, and it was alreay at 60 Hz, so that wont change it.... bummer.

I did a bit of research for you. The Hauppauge Intervideo decoder registry settings should be in one of the following 2 locations:

For Hauppauge decoder Version 3
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\InterVideo\Custom\Hauppauge\VideoDec]
Registry patch:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\InterVideo\Custom\Hauppauge\VideoDec\GBPVR]
"BOBWEAVE"=dword:00000000
"DXVA"=dword:00000001
"HWMC"=dword:00000001
"NVMCP"=dword:00000001
"VMR"=dword:00000002
"HwColor"=dword:00000001

For Hauppauge decoder version 4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\IviSDK4Hauppauge\Common\VideoDec]
Registry patch:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\IviSDKHauppauge\Common\VideoDec\GBPVR]
"BOBWEAVE"=dword:00000000
"DXVA"=dword:00000001
"HWMC"=dword:00000001
"NVMCP"=dword:00000001
"VMR"=dword:00000002
"HwColor"=dword:00000001

Navigate through your registry to work out which patch to use and copy'n'paste the patch (incl the bit in brackets) into Notepad and save it with a filename. Now rename the file extension to ".reg" then double-click on the file and Windows should ask you if you want to add this to the registry, which you accept.

Note the forum server has added spaces within the brackets, - the text should be continuous without spaces.

And in answer to your question, - these settings only apply to the Intervideo Directshow decoder, so should only affect video playback which uses the Intervideo decoder.

csy,

Thanks for all of your time and effort on this, but after I get to the software folder, there neither an Intervideo, or InviSDKHaupage folder. Did I maybe install something wrong? Thanks, and as of now ubu hasnt responded to my pm.

It's a bit like the blind leading the blind

OK look under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" for
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IviSDK4Hauppauge\Common \VideoDec]
or
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\InterVideo\Custom\Hauppauge\VideoDec]

If you find a match, then apply the matching "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" patch

csy,

Good news I did find a match through that, now, i just dont knwo how to apply the patch. Does it have somethign to do with right clicking and making a new string called GBPVR and then creating some sort of wrod document copy and pasting all those values?

You can either edit the registry directly or create a registry patch file.

To edit the registry directly, highlight directory (key) you want to start from and right-click and select new Key, and name it the new sub-directory (sub-key) name. Repeat to add all the sub-keys right through to and including the GBPVR sub-key. Now highlight "GBPVR" key, right-click and Select New DWord and name it BOBWEAVE. This will automatically give it a value of zero, but if you want to change the value, simply double-click on the Dword and enter a new value. Note all values are in hexadecimal. Repeat adding Dwords for the other entries.

Alternatively copy'n'paste the patch (incl the bit in brackets) into Notepad and save it with a filename. Now rename the file extension to ".reg" then double-click on the file and Windows should ask you if you want to add this to the registry, which you accept.
