Theres lines in my video

[ejeffers]

I am using a PVR-150 with GB-PVR and i am using the VMR9 overlay. But no matter what setting I put it on, the video always splits into lines during fast movements. Please help me.

Sounds like tearing. What video card and video decoder are you using?

It may be interlacing artifacts you're noticing during horizontal moving. Try setting the deinterlacing to encoder pass through.

My video card is an Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 128MB. And as for the decoders, it doesnt really seem to matter which I use, they all give me the horizontal lines.

My computer specs may make a difference but I dont think so, but here they are anyway.
-Intel Pentium 4 2.6 ghz
-1024 PC 3200 DDR RAM
-GeForce FX 5200, 128MB
-Windows XP Home Edition
-100gb Seagate for OS and programs
-150gb for recordings and DVD iso's

And to Sub, how do I change the deinterlacing to encoder pass through?

[sub]

using the 'deinterlacing' setting in the config app

Under Which Tab?

I think I may have the same problem and have been trying to figure it out the last couple weeks. I'm outputting at 1080i from a Radeon 9800. If I output through s-video or at 480, I have no problem and there's no problem on the monitor screen as well. So far I've found three things that help, 1) the DScaler codec, but it introduced horrible judder in my system which I found to be worse than the tearing 2) using the overlay mode rather than the VMR9 and 3) ATI has a selection to wait for VSync, I don't know about nVidia though. From other forums, it seems to be a problem with HDTV and VMR. This is assuming you're outputting in High Def; if not sorry, no idea.

ok, interesting development. Just saw on another forum to swap your display (meaning tv being the primary and your monitor the secondary. It's in the control panel for ATI drivers, but no idea how to do with nVidia). Lo and Behold no tearing on the tv and now there's tearing on my monitor. Very happy, I can stop fiddling now and enjoy my TV.

I havent been able to try the encoder pass-through because that computer keeps crashong and I havent had time to fiddle with it yet. Thanks for the advice all, ill tell you how it went once I get my comp. up and runnning.

BTW, I'm using my monitor for the display, no TV out or HD out, but thanx anyway
