1) You need to use the EVR to enable DXVA2 on Vista/7.[/quote]Did that.
[quote]2) Your 4650 doesn’t support bit streaming; did you enabled LPCM output in the ffdshow settings?
[/quote]But, not much help, given this. Damn. I thought it did. :'( I did enable LPCM, though.
shadymg edited 🙂
I tried setting up the bitstreaming portion and now I can’t get MKVs to play back in SageTV. I get an exception error. Recorded TV still plays fine.
I opened up the MKV in GraphStudio and it’s attempting to render as you see here:

This will not play back at all. I get a black screen.
I’m not sure if this is what I should be trying, but I attempted the following:

This shoots the CPU usage up to 100%, video and audio play, but both stutter horribly, so HWA is clearly disabled.
Suggestions?

Purposely limited (i.e. peripherals being restricted) to make the v2 device look that much better.
[/quote]LOL! Gee… what fruit-loving company does THAT sound like?

I was a little surprised how many people dont have blue ray yet (me being one of those votes.) Only reason I havent switched yet is because I only have a tv that plays at 720p. When I upgrade my TV i’ll def add a blue ray player to the HTPC.
[/quote]Do you notice the difference between DVDs and HDTV? If you do, then you will see a benefit from BD on your 720p TV.
[/quote]I was going to say the same thing, but wasn’t quite sure how to word it. I have a 1080i plasma and absolutely love the way Blu-rays look on it. 720p looks pretty darn good, too… significantly better than DVDs. 720p is nothing to sneeze at.

*sigh* definitely need to catch up on sleep.
[/quote]Stop scheduling those late night meetings then! 😛
Ahh… you’re using that [i]new[/i] math I keep hearing about. In that case, using your list and going by your definition, there were simply 11 alien movies. ;D

[url=http://www.missingremote.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5213&Itemid=2]Original Article Link[/url]What is this Anthology you speak of? I know Alien and its sequel Aliens but thats it!
[/quote]Well, I [b]did[/b] provide a link. 😛 Then again, there are some people who are in denial that more than two movies were made.
For the record, the polls are on the front page, right-hand side, pretty much at the top.
Screwed up my vote in the new poll, dammit. Oh well. That’s what margins of error are for. 😉
I think the big question is how noisy is that fan. I can’t tell by the looks what size it is, but it seems tiny, which usually means noisy.
It’s not in the original article, but in the [url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20018722-1.html]update[/url] (posted 5 replies up).
[quote][b]The bottom line[/b]
Despite the near doubling of MLL on the VT25 and G20 we’ve measured so far, both still exhibit some of the best overall black level performance available on the market today. In order of “blackest” initial black, the other 2010 plasmas in our lab at press time include the Samsung PN50C7000 ([b]0.017 MLL[/b]), Samsung PN50C8000 (0.019), and LG PX950 (0.030). All of these numbers are higher (worse) than our estimated “final” MLL of either Panasonic panel.[/quote][quote=”Naylia”]
I have The Karate Kid on Blu-ray – how can that be being released this week….maybe a slightly different set of bonus features?
[/quote]I’m not sure if that was sarcasm or not. You did catch that they remade the original, right? The one with Ralph Macchio was already release earlier this year, but this one is with Jaden Smith (Will Smith’s son) and Jackie Chan. Although, maybe we’d all be better off if we didn’t know about the remake. 😉
Where did you get your NIC drivers from? Windows Update upgraded my Atheros drivers one time and I lost all reliability in my connection I had to use a different computer to find the chipmaker’s drivers and install them over the Windows ones. Just saying that you might want to try drivers from a different source, if you haven’t already.

There are news readers and there are forum posters. I tend to come most for answers to my issues and see what other issue people are running into.[/quote]Understandable. We’ll need to get some more compelling content to draw you in then. 😉 That’s why I was asking, so thank you for indulging me!
[quote]I check the home page every couple days but was the post only on the side or was it listed as news in addition to being on the side. I don’t pay much attention to the side bar.[/quote]
It was only posted on the side. Personally, I wanted something posted on the front page as well, but it wasn’t my poll. ;D Then again, if you don’t visit the home page very often, that might not have changed anything. 😛 j/k
[quote]And I did find the Newegg ad but it is kind of buried. I’d suggest a link up top to take us to a page listing all the vendors.[/quote]
I brought that up once, too. I think Mike once said that he didn’t want to be pushing those links too hard.
[quote]As far as news items and polls how hard would it be to get a daily dump of links in an email. And/or is there an RSS feed? I have Dailytech’s feed setup in outlook so I can see new items as they come in.
[/quote]I don’t think there’s currently a way for a daily email, other than the thread subscription option. However, I get the RSS feeds on my phone.
