sbiddle: Just one other thing for people to remember - if you are using Vista you *must* use EVR if you want hardware acceleration.

EVR supports DXVA2 and PowerDVD also supports DXVA2.

DXVA was the original hardware acceleration under XP using VMR9 however while Vista supports DXVA it will not deliver hardware acceleration. If you're running Vista and use VMR9 your system will not be able to take full advantage of the hardware offloading.

I read this and did a search for EVR & DXVA2 but didnt find any links with downloads so im not sure what EVR is and how I set it up in vista or DVBViewer or PowerDVD, some more info on these sort of post would be more helpfull I guess.

So how do i set EVR in Vista ??

cranz: Hmm the xml file is loaded with 690, 706 and 778 for the Kaukau and Wharite sites in Wellington so you should be alright. It doesn't contain tuning paramters for Baxters Knob, Fizherbert or Wellington infill.

Is DVBViewer picking up TVNZ and Kordia on 690Mhz and 778Mhz? (Channel editor should tell you)

If so will need to investigate further

EVR is the renderer used by an application to display content on the screen. If you look at programs such as GB-PVR, Media Portal or DVBViewer they all allow you to select from the various renderers available on your system.

There is nothing to download, it's just a matter of selecting EVR as the renderer in the program.

cranz: If you scan again in TVServer and send me your tv.log and TsWriter.log files I'll have a look at what's happening

Cheers Fossie, you guys really are very helpfull, ill check in DVBViewer for it I saw a render option but it was VMR7 & VMR9 and some Vista Enhanced Video Renderer (experimental) I dont see any options for EVR ??

freitasm: 18153, downloaded just before. And most interesting: My TV plugin shows "No streams" but the TV-Server configuration shows a beautiful preview...

cranz: Interesting, are you using SVN revisions 18123 or 18153? There are a few issues with these 2..

Sbiddle, remember how we couldn't set EVR for dvbviewer on Windows Vista running on my Mac mini?

I've downloaded the latest Intel Media Graphics Accelerator Driver for the 945GT chipset, and now I am able to enable EVR on dvbviewer without it freezing the computer.

The picture is now much smoother, without the jerky movements... And still using about 60% - 80% CPU when in full screen.
