Hi.
I'm trying to clarify how things are running on my setup, becouse the more i read, the less i understand why it doesn't work at all.
One week ago it used to work, smooth and the way it was designed to, but after trying to install some corrupted codecs to see mpeg2, it crash. Since then, after a lot of reboots, s.o. reinstalls and workarounds, i can't reproduce the same setup i had. Is very, very, very frustating indeed.
My HTPC is based on the 780g (gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H), with a onboard ATI HD3200, and HDMI.
My Plasma is a Panasonic TH-42PX70E without the 24p magic stuff.
What i'm looking for is a working setup, whatever the renderer, whatever the S.O, becouse no matter what i do, the stutter/judder is always there. Even when i play 25hz coded mkv's. This only happens with reclock as the audio renderer.
Some info about my reclock status when movie at 23,976 is being played and my plasma is on 1280x720p 50hz:
The icon is red/green, no matter the amount of time i keep it running
The Video Hardware info:
Refresh rate: 50,003HZ (without pstrip)
Renderer info:
VMR7 or VMR9. EVR is not working properly on sp3 (as far as i tried)
audio: dsound
Clocks corrections:
Always more than 500ppm (sometimes more than 1000ppm) I guess there's something bad there, isn't?
The media adaptation:
Speed: Auto with Locked clicked. (The way it should be)
Sound adaptation:
None of them
Sync adaptation:
Vsync enabled.
The dots are jumping on the upper side of the screen, which i think is a rather bad symptom as the manual says it must be the on the lower part of the screen. Also, on complex secuences, the dots begin to spread all over the vertical axis, sometimes jumping from the top to the bottom of the screen.
I guess i'm using the standard setup for codecs: Haali splitter and ffdshow beta6 with libavcodec for h264. My S.O. is XP3 updated. No antivirus, no automatic updates, just the minimal. About the ati drivers, i've been trying everything from official gygabyte to amd radeon suites, even the legacy ones. The tripple buffer is disabled, and the the wait for vertical sync is off (i've tried the on option too without any visible results)
The dual AMD CPU works at 20% at maximun load.
About the audio, there's no passthough for AC3. Reclock handles the spdif output to my decoder at 16bit (that's the only thing i'm pretty sure about becouse i've been using reclock from the very first time...)
So...
Could someone please tell me a working setup? Even if i have to buy another tested radeon. Whatever info is wellcomed. Btw, the HDMI cable is the same as always.
