Just thought id post my findings for people using npvr and xp playing mepg2-ts recorded files
If you are having ghosting issues or generally crap playback
Download the latest FFdshow-tryouts decoder
look for the newest file the download link on the webpage does not link to the newest version
(ffdshow_beta-rev3152_20091209.exe)
under codecs set mpeg to Libmepeg2(its set to disabled when you install)
go down to overlay tick the box
inside the overlay>output>untick all apart from NV12
set interlace flag to force bob(may be different for you so try weave also)
set field order >topfield first
I also set allow output format changes during playback for fiddling
Interesting things i found
ffdshow playback in evr cpuload was only 7%
where as cyberlink or nvidia with hardware decoding enabled using vmr cpu load was 14%
plus vmr aspect ratios dont work with the nvidia driver bug
So if you are worried about load on cpu dont be
This is the first time i have ever found the ffdshow decoder to be as good if not better than either cyberlink or nvidia
Please post back with your findings or if you have anything to add good or bad
