Hi
I have big problems with stutters on my system. I have tried with winDVD6, TheaterTek 2.11 and VLC and get stutters in all three.
I would preferably want to use TheaterTek for playback.
I am connected to a Sony D50 CRT so any refresh rates given would have to match my limitations on the CRT Pj
I currently run the latest ATI Drivers for MCE (Catalyst 5.7) and Powerstrip 3.50
I use the stock powerstrip 1920x1080i HDTV resolution.
I have also tried some of the resolution settings in the Sticky here for 1080i ( Custom Resolution Guide for 1080i HDTV-HTPC-POWERSTRIP-RADEON)but to no avail. I have tried all the different settings in TheaterTek but did not get any changes. VMR9 was even worse than overlay..
One of the problems is my LCD monitor don't want to display 1080i so clear that I can see what I am doing, and the desktop is too unclear on the CRT to see the small letters of Powerstrip clearly. Poor focus on my D50..
(And yes I know my D50 can't resolve all the lines, but I feel the Picture is better at 1080i than at 720p)
My machine runs at 20-30% CPU when playing 1080i .ts files.
Hardware:
Asus P5GD1-VM I915G mATX PCIe, HD Audio, LAN, VGA,
Intel Pentium 4 530J - 3.0Ghz Socket 775 PC800, 1MB cache
TwinMOS 1024MB DDR PC3200 Dual 512MB x 2, 400Mhz, CL2.5, 184pins
PowerColor Radeon X300SE HyperMemory PCI-Express, supports 256MB, TV/DVI
Western Digital 160GB Caviar SE SATA HD 7200RPM, 8.9ms, 8MB cache, SATA
NEC ND-3520 DVD±RW 16x Dual layer
TerraTec SoundSystem Aureon 5.1 PCI (SPDIF out)
Western Digital USB2.0/Firewire 250GB 8MB Dual Option
Machine is running MCE 2005
I would really apprechiate any good step by step set up descriptions you could give me. Both for the playback software and Powerstrip. And maybe a list of timings I could put into Powerstrip. Both for 1080i and 720p resolutions. And are we by refresh rate talking vertical or horisontal or pixel clock?
I can also go to Powerstrip 3.60 if necessary as I have that somewhere.
Please help as this is getting really annoying.
Any good descriptions on how to get .ts playback in the MCE frontend would also be of help. I have tried installing HDTVPump, but get unsupported file format when trying to click on a file.
This was a lot, but I hope some of you can spare some time to help an idiot. And I even thought I knew my way around computers...
