Ok, I've been looking all over for answers to my trouble, and I've tried allot to resolve the trouble, so, without further ado...
System :
A8N-SLI with AMD 3800x2, and 1Gig of ram
EVGA 7600Gt 256Meg PCIE w/HDCP (several driver versions between 169.xx and 175)
DVD-RW 16x (NEC) but using EIDE(not SATA)
Hauppauge 500 dual tuner
WinXP pro w/sp2 (not MCE)
SageTV 6.3
PowerDVD 7.?
NV Purevideo
K-Lite pack(latest)
So, I bought a new TV, Samsung LN52A650(LCD), and I'm trying to configure the old HDPC to run smoothly with 1080p... its pretty good with the occasional stutter(side scrolling, or action scenes worse that others). I've tried many configurations with the codecs, and filters, but nothing is perfect. Now these are just plain old DVD's, I'm not trying to get into HD yet. I figured i should get this working the way i want before I even delve into HD.
During this process, I thought i'd try another video card, and purchased an ATI 3650 w/512meg of ram. A newer video card, and should be able to handle the load a little more than the 7600GT, but it didn't help much. (Used Drivercleaner to remove drivers between video card installations)
So, to the question... Is this all the software I need? or am I using too much?(codec's conflicting?) is the processor not enough? not enough ram? Or is the stuttering due to the DVD being upscaled to 1080p? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
