Windows XP SP2, CCC 8.9 with 4850 via HDMI (though it recognise it as DVI after I switch channel. But its HDMI at the start at least)
In PowerDVD 8, 1080i MPEG2 playback (sports recording) keep disabling hardware acceleration when I start it. I had to manually enable it again after the video starts.
Sure enough hardware acceleration work after I enable it again. CPU drop from 30% to 10%. Since I can't enable it by remote, it gets annoying. Anyone know how to fix this problem ?
Also with hardware on, if I start another different 1080i files or if I stop and started the same file, the picture will underscan like 40 pixels off the bottom. What's the deal with this ? It was fine the first time only, I had to close PowerDVD and restart it again everytime I have a new 1080i file to play. This with the above annoys me to no end.
Another quirk of 1080i playback in PowerDVD is that I can't skip or fast forward without hardware acceleration. I had to stop and restart the video without turning off PowerDVD in order for those functions to work. This is minor annoyance. But a fix would be nice.
MPEG-2 720p, SD, DVD playback fine. I haven't tested 1080p yet. Or H264/AVC playback from official source.
All the H264 files that I've made, the hardware acceleration doesn't work in PowerDVD. But it does play though. With NV Purevideo I can get hardware acceleration with it. Can anyone point me to a guide to create H264 files that can work with ATI AVIVO ?
Next, I noticed PowerDVD with AVIVO on outputs limited RGB. With it off and using other player and codecs it output full. I had to keep switching my TV from full to limited and back again for different thing. The auto setting doesn't work. Anyone know how to set AVIVO to full RGB ?
Last one in PowerDVD there is option for hardware deinterlaced. There is bob, weave and 3 other options that look like software key. I assume these correspond to the other 3 setting in ATI VIVO CCC like motion adaptive and vector adaptive. Does anyone know which is which though ? Which one overwrite which ? Do CCC one have priority ? or the one in PowerDVD ?
If I disable hardware acceleration will the hardware deinterlaced work ? Also do the deinterlaced setting in ATI VIVO CCC work with other players with different codec that doesn't support AVIVO ? Because I noticed the color correction affects other player with different codec too. I am just wondering if the deinterlaced and other options like noise and edge enhancement work the same ?
Extra question. Anyone able to get VMR9 Renderless to work without tearing. I played with refresh rate, reclock but that mode just tear.
Help anyone ?
