Leadtek WinFast DTV 1800 H - No video, High Cpu usage

[gingel]

Hi,

I have the "Leadtek WinFast DTV 1800 H" connected to a satellite tv box using the Composite input.

I installed the SoftPVR components , and added the device in the AnalogDevice.xml file.
It worked, i was able to see the analog device in NextPVR.

I configured a channel and selected Composite under Input Source.
In the video decoders i tried with Mpeg2 set to : Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder
and i also tried "Leadtek DTV video decoder" .

The problem is that i only get Audio but not Video.
And also i noticed that the Cpu usage is high.

Which video decoders should i download so i will have video, and how can i resolve the High Cpu usage?

Thank you.

I always recommend SAF ... It's an installer that will install decoders that play anything anywhere ... http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post414049

Send a forum private message to Hoborg and ask for the "unlocked" version ... it contains the "best" decoders.

Thank you. I'll try with SAF.

What about the high cpu usage? will a different video decoder will solve this problem?

I expect that the C/lnk decoders installed by "unlocked" SAF will use hardware decoding that is a supported by your graphics hardware.

If you are using SoftPVR with software mpeg encoding that could require a lot of CPU even on newer CPU's.
