QUOTE(Matrix @ Dec 23 2010, 09:05 AM) Yeah...ATI 5xxx series should be able to bit-stream. And get yourself an Windows Media Centre controller to make full use of the Media Centre. Will test, but I don't plan to use my HTPC as a media player. The output levels are not stable, sometimes u get RGB 4:4:4 even when u set YCbCr 4:4:4. Framerates are also messed up, it sometimes defaults to 60Hz even when I specify 23.967. I prefer a proper media player. |
