1.3c Audio Stuttering & HD Aspect Ratio

[RobAnt]

Since installing 1.3c I've noticed that audio stuttering happens much more quickly than it did before. After just a few minutes.

I haven't tried recording it, but previous incarnations of the same problem - albeit after a much longer period of normal audio - didn't get recorded.

Is this a known issue? If so, how do I resolve it?

The problem with HD Aspect Ratio has always been there, but essentially I need to set it to "auto" manually. Can this be set permanently to auto, or would that cause an issue with non-HD channels?



Thanks.

[Mr X]

can you post a log.txt of the HD Aspect Ratio issue please?

[RobAnt]

Hope this is sufficient, let me know if it isn't.

At the end I change the aspect ratio manually by using the "Right Click - Aspect Ratio - Auto" method. But selecting "Fill" works just as well.

It works the same in either windowed or full-screen mode.

I moved from BBC News (properly displayed in wide-screen) to BBC HD - which displayed with black bars along the sides, which would appear to be a stretched 4:3 or, possibly, 16:10. The TV is a 16:10 FullHD 1080P type.

[Mr X]

For some reason it thinks BBC HD is broadcasting at 720x480.

If you press Control + D - what resolution is shown?

Do you have the Arcsoft Decoder you could try rather than the PowerCinema one?

TheNewGuy may have some more input on this also

1440 x 1080.

If you mean the decoder for H.264, then I have the Cyberlink one, but that gives no picture at all on any channel!

[Mr X]

Your currently using:

2010-04-01 17:05:39.747 [DEBUG] - PCM H.264/AVC Decoder

I wondered if you had the one we supply ArcSoft Video Decoder , it might be the decoder causing the issue perhaps

[RobAnt]

That's correct.

I have the original disk that came with the card, if it's on there.

Problem is, I also have ArcSoft's Total Media Theatre and that hasn't installed the H.264 decoder such that it can be found by WinTV.

How do I install it individually, or copy it to somewhere it can be found and utilised?

[RobAnt]

bump

[Mr X]

Your original disc was a PowerCinema CD right? If so you won't get the ArcSoft Decoder.

TheNewGuy can confirm my thinking on this issue.

[RobAnt]

That's right. So how do I go about fixing these issues?
