Windows 7 EVR quality

[avoidz]

I've just made my Windows 7 64 laptop my primary computer and installed DVBViewer on it. I previously used a Windows XP tower with PowerDVD 7 for video rendering in DVB.

 

Now Windows 7 uses the EVR and has PowerDVD 9 installed. When I'm watching DTV video, panning shots have a strobing, blurry effect, which is worse quality.

 

Is there any way to improve the video quality? Thanks.

You must enable "custom renderer" in the directx panel

 

for mpeg2 SD: cyberlink /Sp decoder(PDVD10) work fine

For HD: Arcsoft video decoder or cyberlink video decoder( with dxva support). Best result with arsoft

 

I run win7 x64 with a Nvidia GT220

Thanks.

 

'Use Custom Renderers' is enabled and Cyberlink Video Decoder (PDVD9) is set for MPEG2, with EVR Custom Video Renderer selected.

 

I remembered I had Shark007 Windows 7 Codecs installed and removed those in case they were causing a problem, but now I have no AC3 sound on HD channels (I think ffdshow from the Shark007 codecs was being used for AC3).

 

It's a bit of a mess, frankly

 

An LCD monitor is connected to my laptop via an HDMI cable if that makes any difference too.

for AC3 /e-ac3 sound i use ffdshow audio, it's proved to be reliable over the years so you might try that (search google if you don't have it)

 

for the record cyberlink has 2 kind of decoders, cpu and gpu(dxva)

 

cyberlink video SP decoder (note the SP) works best for SD channels (better deinterlacing)

I couldn't get the HD channel sound back no matter what, so I uninstalled the main DVBViewer program and reinstalled it from scratch. I chose to download the AC3 audio decoder this time from the installer, and HD sound is working again.

 

I think I have a working configuration now. The Microsoft DVT-DVD Video Decoder seems to work best out of the decoders installed on my laptop.
