First, an overview of my specs:
AMD 2600 Barton
1 gig RAM
ATI Radeon 9600 (non-pro) 256 MB
DVI-Component Dongle
Mits 55809 RPTV
Sonic DVD codec
Meedio
I installed the Catalyst 4.10 drivers over the weekend. I set it up to output 1080i at 1776x1080. That worked great. Very little overscan. I was able to get rid of Powerstrip. Now I wanted to play around a bit more, but for the life of me, I can't find the screen that allowed me to check the boxes for 1080i and 16x9 output. I guess I should take it as a sign - it works, leave it alone!
The other 'good' thing I see with the new driver is that my movies don't stutter. Although I only watched two movies so far, I am confident it will be ok. I was always able to make it fail by either pausing, fast forwarding, or rewinding the movie. When resuming normal viewing it would stutter within minutes.
Now the bad. When using Meedio, all of the screens paint very slowly. It doesn't matter what theme I use. However, when I go into a slide show (using Meedio's built in viewer) the images display immediately. And, like I mentioned above, movies play fine.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this, or have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Barry
