ATI Radeon HD 5800, 5700 and 5600 Series Thread: Supporting HD Audio Bitstreaming! - Page 30

SamuriHL - can you share the name of the file(s) you copied from 125 to 131?

I'm not sure what combination is best for Blu-ray playback. To me, being able to bitstream the HD audio codecs is important, and proper 24 fps video is important. TMT3 is good, and it is much better than my last experience with PDVD. I do have a Xonar HDAV to bitstream the audio with TMT3. Combinations I've tried:

Nvidia 9800 GT or GTX 260 + Xonar HDAV, where do I start? Massive lip sync problems at 24 Hz. Over 6 months of crappy video drivers, and I've tried lots of different versions. Every time I try to change refresh rates between 23/24 and 60 Hz, it is at least a 30 second event. And many times it doesn't even change the refresh rate, so I have to try 5 or 10 times before it will actually change! And there is always a multi second delay when toggling Vista Media Center between windowed and full screen mode. Nvidia has lost me.

Intel G45 IGP + Xonar HDAV, very close. Perfect lip sync at 24 Hz or 60 Hz, and the drivers have no problem switching between the resolutions. But every so often during BD playback, there is a very brief video glitch, probably due to the 24 Hz not being exactly 23.976. Toggling Vista Media Center between windowed/full screen is much faster than with Nvidia.

ATI 5770 + Xonar HDAV, can't select 24 Hz. Sure, a driver update could fix that, but I'm waiting, and my return window is counting down. Watching a movie at 59 Hz with TMT3 and everything played OK, other than the screen saver kicking in. ATI, this is your opportunity to impress me. This is the first time that I've bought an ATI card in many years.

Have you tried 32 bit OS? I would say that 64 bit using TMT is NOT rock solid nor probably are the ATI drivers... Which both must work in conjunction with each other..

It wouldnt hurt to give it a try to see if it clears up your stability issues.

I very much disagree with that statement. I run TMT3 on 2 64 bit machines and have zero problems with it. One is a 4850 doing 24Hz (not 23 like some people are trying) and the other is my 5870 doing 60Hz. Both are rock solid on W7 X64. I don't think 32 bit vs 64 bit has anything to do with it.

i applied that patch and bitstreaming is still not working in POWERDVD.....

The waiting is hard, I know. But it s all we can do until Slysoft, Arcsoft, Cyberlink or the MPC-HC team comes up with THE solution.

I have the patch and sadly, no, it does not bitstream uncompressed sound to receiver.

SIGH. Now I guess we wait another few weeks to see if it gets released. I truly hope for Cyberlink's sake that when it's released it simply works flawlessly out the gate. Otherwise there's going to be a backlash like they've never seen before. I'd really like to see them make people happy and release a new feature (i.e. ATI bitstreaming) that simply works from day 1. However, if they keep pushing it back someone else will end up beating them to the punch. Not an enviable position to be in for them.

I have the new WHQL Catalyst 9.10 drivers downloaded, but wont be home to try them until tonight.

Please O Please let them do 23Hz and stable video acceleration with TMT3!!!

Anyone available to try them today sooner?

They're out? Guess I gotta get upgrading.

The 5xxx page still lists the 5xxx specific driver from 10/13. This can't be good.

Crap! Man they need to start getting it togethor with their drivers.

Even if it has the 5800 series in there, the main page still points us to the 10/13 driver page. So, something's not quite right. I've yet to try installing it on my 5870. I may do so in a little bit.

I think you guy's bought that card a few weeks too early.

PowerDVD will not support bitstreaming ATI 5XXX anytime soon because their are supporting Auren home theatre HD at the moment. Do you think Auren will be that happy if they let PowerDVD work on ATI bitstreaming? NOPE

Lucky i got Auren home theatre HD + powerdvd 9 now and really happy with it, i don't want to wait months for the damn bitstreaming.

That's quite a stretch to make that claim. We've seen pictures of it working in September on reviewer's systems. They've said the holdup is in testing. Maybe they found a bug. I pleaded with CyberlinkUSA on this very thread to not release it unless it works. Maybe you can blame me for the lack of a release. (Yea, right, like they listen to me. LOL) I'm guessing they found an issue and maybe they did take my advice and only will release it once it actually works. Who knows. But I wouldn't bring Auzentech into this. They have nothing to do with the lack of a release IMO.

Agreed.

Huh? It's been officially announced that PowerDVD9 will be the software to support DTS-MA and TrueHD for the ATi 5xxx cards.

Just to be clear about it, has it been officially announced by Cyberlink yet? I can't find any reference to bitstreaming with the ATI cards in the Cyberlink PDVD9 page.

Hasn't Tom (CLUSA) said it was going to be supported?

Yes, but I'm looking for something "more official". Can't find anything in Cyberlink Press Room either.

Lack of 5700 series support in the new drivers is a JOKE!!!

can we mod the .inf to include that string? they do it to every nvidia driver and it works great.

help?

Tomshardware didn't just create its own drivers in order to get it working with PowerDVD9 - Cyberlink provided the drivers to them. Obviously Cyberlink has the driver and is working on it.

And if you look at the link from jgillispie, it was officially announced on the USS Hornet in a press release. And Tomshardware spoke directly to Cyberlink and got beta drivers from them to confirm it does work.

It's a minor part of what the 5000 series is about and that's probably why it is hard to find any press release talking about it.

Does this mean I should not order my 5750 tonight? I want to add it to my new HTPC and be able to watch, rip my blu-rays.

Confused. If not 5750, then what??

What is causing your confusion? The fact that 9.10 doesn't support it? I'm sure that'll get fixed at some point soon. That card may not be 100% ready for prime time but it'll get there soon. If you're looking for a new card, it'd be a good one.

Thanks Sam. You are right. Will order it tonight.

Well, after I figure out what tuner card to get. Thats all I need to complete my parts for the HTPC. I know its not the right thread, but,,,,

We dont have cable. Have satellite and of course OTA. Is Hauppage the way to go? There are a couple cards listed on the famous 85 page but really need a push on a decision.
