Thanks, I am running the latest Nvidia drivers and I did try the Nvidia
decoder and didn't think there was much difference, however, I will try it
again. It sounds like you're saying the motion blurring is due to
interlacing? I haven't fiddled at all with deinterlacing settings, I will
try this. Any suggestions? On a similar tangent I have experimented alot
with trying to deinterlace my home videos and have always been REALLY
frustrated - I've never seen any significant improvement in the interlacing
despite fiddling with a lot of different options. So any information on how
to de-interlace would be much appreciated!

I suggest you try the NVIDIA Purevideo Decoder since it is designed to work
better with the PureVideo features in your 6600GT card. Make sure to set
its de-interlacing control mode to Automatic if it is set to Smart by
default.
Also update your NVIDIA drivers to the current 81.89 release since recent
driver releases do a better job of de-interlacing motion compensation.

Been using MCE since last summer and mostly very happy with it; however,
the
quality of the recorded video is somewhat lacking. Any motion gets
seriously
blurred; the faster the motion, the worse the blur. This has become very
distracting AND I don't recall noticing this when I first started using
MCE.
So, my questions:
1) Is the blurring to be expected given mpg2 encoding?
2) Am I on crack, or is it possible that I installed something on my
system
over the last 6 months that actually has degraded the recording quality?
3) Is there any way to address this probem?
Note I always record at the highest quality setting, and I am using the
PowerDVD (Cyberlink) decoder version 6.0.0.1014.
On a seperate topic, when I installed rollup 2 I noticed that the nice
smooth movement between and within the MCE screen was suddenly jerky and
frankly ugly. I've got a decent system (P4-C 2.6, 1GB of RAM, and an
Nvdia
6800GT video card), so I don't think it's my hard drive. Anyway I
uninstalled rollup 2, but now I'd like to try it again. Any thoughts on
what
might have caused the issues I saw, and how I can fix it?
Finally, regarding media extenders, I'm currently using and old Xbox and a
single MCE machine but I'm considering several upgrades - possibly adding
an
Xbox 360 (but keeping the Xbox), and adding another MCE box. Is this kind
of
configuration possible - multiple MCE hosts and multiplue MCE extenders?
Can
data be served from any machine to any other? What about just having
muliple
extenders and one host - can the extenders both download data at the same
time, even the same file? What exactly are the limitations?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
