Shaky jittery picture on some transponders

[AdamSlim]

I have a problem on some transponders: the picture appears to be displaced by about a seventh of its width on alternate frames - leading to a shaky picture similar to ghosting, although the two pictures are the same brightness. This only occurs on some transponders - the others are perfect.

 

I previously had a problem with my card (Pinnacle) not having the correct 167kHz offset - this is now sorted: see http://www.DVBViewer.info/forum/index.php?showtopic=23483 . Now I get reception, but have this odd effect.

 

The support.zip file is in that thread.

 

Thanks for any help

Further info:

 

It's not actually specific transponders, but certain channels. For example, 530MHz (which I have on 529,833 kHz) has BBC4 that works, and 301/302 (the BBC interactive channels) which display the problem.

 

Noting the instructions, some extra info beyond the support.zip in the other thread:

WinXP; TV card is a Pinnacle 310i; Mobo is an Asus P5KC (Intel P35); Graphics card is a nvidia 8500GT.

Bump - anyone?

Bump - anyone?

 

Continuing my fun one-man thread, I have now resolved this:

 

1 - install the latest version (3.9.4.0) - made no difference

 

2 - change the MPEG video codec from the Pinnacle one to the VOB video codec

 

As ever I have been playing with settings for ages, but it is the latter that appears to have solved the problem. I don't know if it would also do it with older DVBViewer versions - sure I must have tried it, but you never know!
