Hi All,
I am trying to get GBPVR working but and facing a few problems. My setup is as follows:
I've connected my PC to the tele via HDMI. Now to mention my list of problems with DVD playback:
1) If I use PVRX2.exe I get tearing of the images if there is movement like a car moving across the screen or if the camera pans from the top of a building to the bottom for example. Also, the colours look a bit muted. Also, I do not see the OSD i.e. ff/rw, pause, etc. All I get in terms of OSD is the progressbar.
2) When I use GBPVR.exe I get the same tearing as above if I'm using VRM9, VRM9 Custom or VRM9 FSE. Only the overlay mode works the best with excellent colours and smooth video playback. However, in this mode I also notice that when I'm watching trailers on a DVD the picture jitters when there is any movement i.e. when there is a hand movement the hand appears to jitter. The main movie plays smoothly, just the trailers jitter. As an example, when I watch (Finding Nemo - Disney DVD), all the trailers like monster inc, lion king, etc. jitter, but the main movie itself, plays fine. Any idea what's going on. The jittering goes away if I switch to VRM9 custom, but then I get the tearing even on the main movie.
I am using DScaler5 decoder and this is the only decoder installed on the machine. Ideally I'd love to use PVRX2 but am unable to get decent DVD playback using it, not to mention the lack of OSD.
Now all the DVDs play fine in WMP11 both in Overlay mode and in High res mode with no jitter or tearing and it is using the same DScaler5 decoder.
This is really driving me nuts. Someone please help.
