I'm running the following components:



Samsung HLN467W

HTPC: Athlon64 2800, Radeon 9600XT w/256, TT 2.0 and FFDshow SSE (can't remember exact version)


When I first installed the latest FFdshow with TT1.5 I was having issues with CPU load pinging 100% I screwed around for weeks trying to figure out what I was doing wrong in the setup until somebody finally mentioned using an older SSE maximized version (I assumed the latest version had this but apparently not) I downloaded the latest SSE version and it worked great with CPU load down around 55% I was never able to find settings I liked but at least it worked so I could play around with it if I wanted to.


I upgraded to TT 2.0 last week and decided to try FFDshow once again. Since I was never happy with FFDshow before I decided to start with Resize only and add items slowly. I unchecked everything except resize and moved the resizing down from 3 x resolution to my screen resolution (1280 x 720). Much to my surprise the CPU load was pinging 100% again and I had micro stutters. This seems really odd since most posts I've read are saying that their CPU load dropped with TT 2.0 With 1.5 I was running resize and two or three more filters. With 2.0 I'm only running resize and it's even at a lower resolution than before.........What could possibly be wrong?

Well, for starters ffdshow support in TT2.0 is all messed-up (especially for resize - notice you can't get a proper aspect ratio to work). I suggest waiting for the first TT2.0 patch to come out. It is scheduled to come out later today... that's the latest word.

Same thing here! CPU usage pegged out at 100% w/ TT2.0 than the previous version, exact FFDSHOW settings, where it only went up to 60%. May be I need to upgrade to SP2 to get dx9c.
