Start Fresh, What codec packs ?

[SamAlone]

Im doing a clean install today with Vista 32bit

 

I want to be able to view DVB-S2 HD channels and the regular DVB-S mpeg2 HD channels

What codec pack is the best , dont want to download and install a bounce of them, then i guess

i get alot of other issues with it.

 

So any help here would be prusiated.

 

Thx again !

 

Ps : Alot of questions now to start with, hope u guys bare with me

Do not install codec packs. Only install the codec you need.

 

Many people using Cyberlink. But i could not say if it is the best.

the only realy working H.264 decoders for live tv are the cyberlink decoder and the mainconcept/elecard AVC Plugin. Both have their pro's and con's.

CoreAVC 1.5 could work also... some people had artifacts with live tv, but that doesn't seem to happen on all channels.

You told before that you where using vista32.

 

Cyberlink powerdvd works fine under XP, is among one of the best mpeg decoders.

the elecard decoder needs to be registered manually.

Hey tried a bit more now, i would also say that the cyberlink decoder works the best, but not good,

the same decoder works awsome with a regular HD clip with mpc.

 

Is the DVBViewer consuming that much cpu power besides the decoder ?

 

Is there some tweaks that i missed, or is it this bad ?

 

I have a Opteron dual core cpu 3200+ , optimized to 2,2ghz / core.

no, it just has some trouble with live-tv. Try to pause a few secondes (activating timeshift) and you should get a fluent picture in DVBViewer as well.
