Overlay Manager - Split Screen Problem

[IanD]

I use Overlay Manager (because the Pentium M 1.4 based machine is rather underpowered for VMR9).
Yesterday I noticed that some channels - including ITV4 - are displayed with the whole picture squashed into the left-hand two-thirds of the screen with the left part of the picture displayed again on the right. Most channels are OK (maybe just one mux?).
I had been running GBPVR 1.2.13 because of a problem I previously had after upgrading to 1.3.11. Tried upgrading to 1.3.11 - previous issue of crashing after a minute or two now OK after changing to TS-Mux and applying patches in Survival Guide. 'Screen-wrap' problem with Overlay Manger is still there though - most irritating! This problem goes away with VMR9 but then I get the picture freezing for a few frames every so often.
Any bright ideas gratefully received.

Thanks

It'd have to be caused by either your videocard drivers, or the video decoder you're using, so those are the two items you'd need to focus on for a fix.

Strangely, changing to the Slick skin seems to allow me to use VMR9 Custom without stuttering issues and hence work around problem with Overlay Manager by virtue of not having to use it! (can't quite work out what changed - I'm sure it didn't have split screen problem on Overlay Manager a week or so ago...and haven't changed anything significant on the machine since then...also odd that it was only on some channels...)
Looking at CPU utilisation, using TS-Mux and Slick skin it appears to be high-ish whilst watching TV (around 85%) but is pretty constant, whereas with DVR-MS or Cyberlink mux and Community 3 skin it was more 'peaky', although the stutters seemed to coincide with low CPU rather than high curiously.

Oh well, works now - family happy

Thanks for a great app.

Cheers
