Hello everyone, fist post. I've done a bit of searching but I can't seem to find anything that works for me. My problem is, as the title says, when watching OTA HD at 1080i the picture is blurry and just looks like garbage. I've begun to dread shows broadcast in 1080 rather than love the higher resolution. 720p is, as to be expected, very fluid and nice to watch.
I've tried everything I've read. ffdshow deinterlacing, DScaler deinterlacing, Alparysoft deinterlacing, I've messed with the deinterlacing options under Misc, I even went so far as to acquire nVidia's PureVideo decoder and the deinterlacing does next to nothing. I've tried setting ffdshow to only use NV12 and set the Bob deinterlace flag. Nothing works. I'm really getting disheartened with the entire process.
This is what does work:
Pausing live tv so that it starts a pause buffer, then opening the buffer in VLC and selecting the Linear deinterlace option. Doing that makes 1080i fluid and beautiful. Obviously this is a less than optimal solution. I suppose my issue is that if VLC can do it on-the-fly while playing a pause buffer why can't any of the many things I've tried above do it seamlessly from within GB-PVR?
I'm sure there must be something I'm missing. Some setting some where. Any help with this issue would be wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
EDIT:
Figures as soon as I make a post I get it working. Some how my codecs were totally screwed up. Honestly I'm not entirely sure how I got things working properly, but PureVideo is now showing DirectX VA mode C (idct) and Video mixing (DirectX 9). It didn't do this before. I think ffdshow was getting in the way.
So, hardware deinterlacing is working and the image looks good. Now the problem is that it jerks in full screen. Not horribly but just enough to be noticable and annoying. I guess now I troubleshoot why DXVA is so jerky.
