| Post subject: | AMD 1333 PVR-150 still a bit choppy |
CPU: AMD 1333 Video ATI Radeon VE (7000) 32MB AGP x4 512 MB 80 MB HD Hauppauge PVR-150 LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive For video out I am using one of those VGA->SVideo converters (Hardware), not the ATI. I have Ubuntu installed on another hard drive. The setup was fairly easy. the hauppauge worked out of the box - including the remote. 1) Install selected to use SVGA instead of the radeon driver in the XF86Config. Once I change this most of the choppiness went away. 2) Next I selected to use "BOB" deinterlacing - much better 3) Channel names didn't come down (Rogers Cable Canada) 4) Much better - but still occassionally a bit choppy. Is the system just maxing out? When I look at top CPU Mem 76.0 9.8 mythfrontend 16.0 8.7 XFree86 8.0 7.2 mythcommflag I checked DMA is being used. Excellent software!! |

I had a look at the XFree86.0.log at it still seems to be using the VESA driver. When I run xine on a xvid movie it is choppy as well, whereas it isn't when I run ubuntu 5.10 which is installed on another drive ( I am setting up dual boot). Looks like I may have to upgrade Xserver to X.org version and then I could simply use my video config from ubuntu. I am also tempted to simply pickup a Gforce 5200 but the AGP is only x4 - not sure if 100% compatible... |

Is this a Tier 2 recommendation of a call for help? One wouldn't post a recommendation here unless things were working. Shall I delete this thread? |
