Mvp Software (remote con)Faster than GBPVR

[darrin75]

Why is the media mvp software remote responses so much faster than gbpvr? Sub, can this be improved..

The Hauppauge MVP software renders pretty simple screens which require quite a bit less CPU power.

GB-PVR's screens are much more complex and use advanced features like anti-aliasing etc (and few resize transformations). Also, the GDI+ library GB-PVR uses for doing all its graphics is well known for being slower than the native windows API. That said, on a fast machine there is very little difference in response time, between GB-PVR and the original software. What spec CPU have you got in you PC?

Also, use the 'minimal OSD' option to ensure things stay responsive when viewing video.
