No Display Adjustments Possible With v3.9.4.0

[Motorcycleboy]

I have recently purchased and downloaded DVBViewer v3.9.4.0 which excels the other DVB viewing programs I have tried, except for one problem that I cannot resove. I am unable to use the Display adjustments because when I move the sliders for hue, contrast and saturation nothing happens to the TV picture. I am only able to open the Display box when I choose the overlay mixer as my video renderer. When I choose VMR7 as the video renderer the menu item for Display is greyed out, but the colour balance is improved considerably at the expense of excessive CPU usage (95% with my VIA C3 system). The brightness slider does work erraticaly.

 

My system is as follows:

 

CPU: VIA C3 Nehemiah 1GHz

Graphics Adapter: Rage 128 GL 32 Mb

Motherboard: Aopen MX3S

Chipset: Intel Solano i815E

BVB-T card: Hauppauge Nova-T PCI

OS: Windows XP Home Edition SP3

MPEG-2 Decoder: Intervideo Non CCS MPEG Decoder

Grahics Adapter Drivers: ATI Rage 128 XP Drivers 6.13.3279

 

I am using this legacy hardware to keep the heat down in a system cooled with a single fan. With DVBViewer the Intervideo decoder is able to exploit the DXVA capabilities of the ATI graphics card to the full. CPU usage is around 40% when watching live TV. Movement is rendered perfectly smoothly with DVDViewer, unlike the result with WinTV.

...which means, the graphics card resp. the driver doesn't support this kind of display adjustment or doesn't expose an according interface.

The VMR7 doesn't provide display adjustment at all.
