Do you happen to have a link? I tried all the drivers on hand:
8.471 resulted in blue screen

I just tried this. 8.5 is much worse. It has tearing, which 9.1 never did. I appreciate your suggestion, but I think that the problems for DVR-MS are different from mpeg.

Thanks for posting your results before I break mine!
 I am considering changing 9.1 to the 8.11 that's available on the Gigabyte site... But really, other than the dvr-ms issue (and I guess I could transcode all them) 9.1 is pretty perfect.
I'm trying 8.11 as we write.
OK, I've tried it. It just provides stuttering at different frequencies, and adds tearing, which 9.1 does not. This suggests that something else has changed -- perhaps in DirectX itself. I'm not competent to speculate further. I am reverting to 9.1, safe in the knowledge that I have the newest and best driver

Ok, that's persuaded me to leave well alone! Thanks for taking the time to try these and post your findings.

Any reason you are still using DVR-MS? I'm using the TS Mux on a 780M with onboard 3200 and 9.1. Running 1080p/60 output with vector adaptive deinterlacing and no issues. I had to disable Aero to get the vector adaptive but I rarely see the desktop anyway.

Problem solved. See
http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=40962 ATI Catalyst 9.1 is safe to use, at least for users of DVR-MS in the U.S.

Given all the related threads I've decided to post here! Firstly a big thanks to rmorein for all your work and updates on this. In answer to whurlston, I have a load of recordings in dvr-ms from ages ago before the tx mux was reliable for me to use. They are all kids TV but my 2 year old is capable of showing his displeasure when it doesn't work!
I'll have a go with graphedit later to see if I can get the dvr-ms recordings to play back. I might just transcode them to something else though. I'm not using the system default, but currently the ATI Mpeg decoder and they still stutter. They also stutter with Cyberlink - but oddly it's only in the last couple of weeks they have done so, since I was playing with the 0 byte recording patches and the 9.1 upgrade. But given the multitude of kids TV recorded to .mpg I'm sure he can cope with not watching particular episodes! Speaking of transcoding (completely off topic) is there a way to transcode recordings into something smaller (e.g. divx or some other mpeg4) but keep the recording information attached to the file in gbpvr? I couldn't find any obvious way of doing this to a load of already recorded progs. |
