I know I'm gonna get flame and killed here, but I can;t resist it. I need to ask how you guy configure your HTPC. What frontend you use, codec, how to upscale it, resize, etc...
Please help. I got a machine P4 HT 2.6Ghz ATI Radeon 9200SE 1GByte of ram Asus P4P800 Motherboard On-board ADI 1985 sound codec 19" Monitor please help. I need you sifu's and experts advice. Thanks |

I do have MCE05. But I'm curious to know what you all do for the upscaling and refining of the videos. I tried ffdshow and it seems that my pc can;t handle the stress

Actually everything is fine until I use Avisynth. Everything slow down. beyond that point.
Anyway, thanks for the informations. I guess i need to make more research on how to make DVD look better on my machine |

QUOTE(hsiengloong @ May 4 2009, 06:51 PM) Hi, Tweak the quality with ffdshow. But beware that you need a very powerful pc to get the best out of it.I have a PC built and planning to turn it into a HTPC. Mine is considered not really a new set but still quite a powerful set. Am just wondering that if i am playing movies using Mplayerc (downloaded the K-lite codec pack), how do i fully utilize this program to tweak my picture quality to the optimum level? Thanks alot |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ May 5 2009, 10:39 AM) QX6700 with only a HD4670??? i take it u dont game alot.... Yup, and that's called DXVA. And that is where AVIVO comes into the scene.  actually ur rig is more than enough....dont even need to do tweaking for 1080p movies. most of the "tweaking" involves offloading the processing onto the GC for 1080p movies to help reduce the CPU usage. no need to worry la....ur rig no need to do any tweaking oso and it should be able to play smoothly For ffdshow, I recommends you go for post processing, blur and noise reduction, noise, sharpen and resize. Oh ya, DXVA does not work with ffdshow. This post has been edited by runemastertan: May 5 2009, 11:05 AM |
