i am trying to use VMR7 for video in GBPVR. i am using this antiquated method because i don't get perfectly smooth video with VMR9 on my system. best seen in scrolling credits or news tickers, but also noticable in pans, motion, etc. hardware $ would likely fix/improve it (P4 1.7, ati 9600) but alas...
i find overlay to give me the best picture and lowest cpu usage, but there are no aspect ratio controls to unstretch 4:3 or zoom in on letterboxed 16:9 on my 16:9 tv. no good.
VMR7 has aspect ratio control and seems to give similar video performance as overlay, albeit with more cpu usage, but the video will sometimes disappear. sometimes going into LiveTV the video will appear for a second then disappear. sometimes it will disappear on a channel change. it will always disappear on a fullscreen change or if another window is brought in front of the video and then removed.
is this a limitation of VMR7 or is it just me? if i open up lastgraph.grf in graphedit and play the video in its viewer there are no problems.
