Hi guys and gals,
Well the WAF was pretty low around my house last night. Tried watching Goldmember on my HTPC and TheaterTek consistently hung at the same place, regardless of reboots. My HTPC is clean. Just did a re-install a few weeks ago. The only things installed were the new radeon 2.4 drivers, sound card driver, TT and Dscaler. Latest patched TT used as well. I was pre-service pack, so I installed that. No help..... This has only happend on three discs in the past few months, but of course my wife can remember each time and were it happened in the movie. I got the old "why can't it just be like a VCR" line. And frankly I don't blame her. It is getting old.
So the question is, how do DVDs look through Dscaler, using one of the new capture cards (not the HOLO 3D-can't afford that) and a decent (200 dollars or so) external DVD player? I'd try myself but only have my X-box for external dvd. I will try this, but imagine that it can't be the best DVD player out there.
I know I'll be giving up those cool things that TT can do. But Frankly I'm a "watch a DVD once type of guy." So the Movie Start bookmarks are something I'm willing to lose.
I guess I could see if Zoomplayer locks up at the same spot. Also I know I can use an external player as a backup for discs that don't go well, but I'd like a fool proof solution for the wife to use. Don't need calls at work about how such and such DVD locks up.
So can anyone compare and contrast dScalers image to TT or the new cineplayer decoders?
Thanks in advance.
