I am having a few issues with my system.
I have:
Asus Pundit
P4 2.0 Ghz
512 MB RAM
PVR-500
PCI FX5500
Due to the crap onboard video on the pundit I decided to give buying a PCI video card a try. Unfortunetly the pundit has a single PCI slot with a riser card that makes it 2 PCI slots. I'm pretty sure this is a problem.
With the pvr and the video using all the PCI bus even watching TV alone causes stuttering. (not to mention recording and watching at the same time). This is all using VMR 7 & 9. Using overlay works perfect (i'm pretty sure this is becasue the video is dumped right to the video ram)
I dont want to use overlay due to the fact that you cant adjust the aspect ratio while watching videos (In TV i dont care).
Switching decoders has no effect.
Anyone seen a problem like this before?
It would be great if there where a setting so that I could tell the system to use Overlay for TV and VMR for everything else.
Any ideas?
