QUOTE(shuto1 @ Mar 26 2010, 01:21 PM) Hi! Just need some advice from the sifus of HTPC here. I just built myself a HTPC with both Sapphire HD5670 and a HDAV 1.3. Seeing that I've read in this thread that the 5670 can bit stream HD Audio out to an AVR (I have the Pioneer LX72 AVR), to let the AVR do the decoding, did I just waste my money in getting the HDAV 1.3 sound card? AIYAAAAAA   Would it be better to have the HDAV in the chain? or no difference - the HD5670 can do the job as well with no degradation in quality.? Right now it's like this HD5670 --> HDMI --> HDAV 1.3 --> HDMI --> LX72 --> TV + Sound System. Thanks and appreciate any help/advice! no waste..can play games and bitstream  |

just wanna ask if there's a way to use both cores in my C2D E8400 to play BDMV.
currently, it only max out 1 core using MPC and sometimes the sound stutters a bit.

Look for the MPC.exe file (mine is mpc-hc.exe), highlight and Right Click 4. Select SET AFFINITY 5. Make sure to tick BOTH CPU0 and CPU1 to make it run on both cores (or more if you have quad core or Intel i5,i7) 6. Click OK and restart MPC and start Step 1-5 to make sure the settings was applied. If it still is running on 1 core i guess its either the software or settings that causing the problems. If that's the case, you can try the link below Link --> http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/251947-3...1080p-8800ultraHope my explanations are good enough  thanks for the tip. will try it out. |

i can't play some BDMV folders using tmt3, the player gets stuck just at the opening folder stage. Its not due to wrong region code cos tested it. 
have used bdedit and mediainfo to examine the structure and compare to other working BDMV and can only see that the possible problem to be two video streams between the two BDMV. 
Playing the streams directly is OK and VLC also can play the folder. Anyone have any idea what to look for and to resolve this problem. This post has been edited by ycs: Dec 31 2010, 11:21 AM |
