Nvidia 7600GS problems

[mitsu]

I got a new MSI 7600GS with heatpipe. Suprisingly many problems with it so far.

 

I installed Forceware 93.71 and the Purevideo trial. Nvidia decoder shows on the DVBV decoder list (MPEG2) normally but does not activate. If I select Nvidia the next one (Cyberlink) is used instead.

 

Another problem is that Sonic Cinemaster decoder works normally with SD channels but Canal+ HD shows black screen. Other decoders work OK also with HD channel.

May be some issue with the Forceware, test the beta or older one.

 

Canal + HD is Scrambled, DVB-S2 and H264.

 

You need Subscripter card, DVB-S2 card and H264 codec(Cyberlink, CoreAVC).

Interestings features now with Sonic Cinemaster decoder. Shows SD channels normally but not HD channels (MPEG2). But shows HD recordings OK. On playback sometimes picture freezes and sound continues for some seconds but then ends up with computer restarts.

 

Nvidia decoder is not working with Forceware beta either.

Hello,

 

Likely very old story about Purevideo Nvidia codec compatibility issue with third party software.

 

To clarify the situation, I suggest you test an early version present in Mpeg decoder 2.08 pack downloadable from Multidec&Co.

 

Remove the trial one before installing it and don't make any installation on top of it as you get nice codecs jam.

 

Cheers
