Got BSOD when watching H.264 channels using DVBViewer Pro 4.

I installed Windows Vista and Windows 7 in different partitions. For the most part, things work okay under Windows Vista and Windows 7, but I keep getting the following BSOD (see included image) when watching H.264 TV channels using DVBViewer Pro 4.0.

 

 

Here is my setup:

 

ASUS ATI 4550 display card.

INTEL Q9450

6GB of DDR2 memory

MSI P45 mainboard

 

EVR video renderer.

Latest Catalyst 9.1 driver.

 

I don't know whether it's DVBViewer Pro 4 that caused this issue. I only see this "video scheduler" BSOD issue when using DVBViewer to watch H.264 channels for some time (maybe 10 mins or less).

 

I'll investigate more. Just post here to see if others also met this problem..

okay, found the root cause. The BSOD was caused by latest ffdshow video decoder tryout.

 

Now I'm using CoreAVC, no such issues.

Any other solutions? I have Vista 64Bit and Ati 4670 and all HD-channels freeze's after few seconds, codec is PowerDVD 7.###### (can't remember what). With CoreAVC everything work fine, but deinterlacing is much more better with ATI's HW-acceleration. And my processor is little bit too slow to encode 1080i with CoreAVC so some frame drops appear. Not good... Any ideas?

@Vince, I have 4650 with cat 9.1, using Power DVD 7.3.4407 h264 codec with DVBViewer 4.0, under XP MCE 2005 SP3 - everything works fine on HD channels.

Have you tried the hw accel properties in the windows panel to see if it's hw-accel related ?

Hi. No, I haven't, must test that when getting home from work.
