Re: HD material hacking

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The PC that handles HD probably has a much higher resolution display then
the SD games you are playing so the upscaling of their SD images make them
look granular or washed out out on the higher resolution monitor. Of couse
high resolution HD programs look great with the higher resolution monitor
since little or no scaling is required.

That was an answer that really surprised me! Should the HD material load
the
graphics circuits in a different way than for example playing PC games? I
mean, I cannot play any games with decent quality on the PC that handles
HD
material fine, and vice versa for the MCE machine with the 5200 card?

I know my integrated graphics are about 4 time more powerfull then 5200
graphics.

I cant sort this out. I play an .avi coded with DX50 HD movie with
MCE/FFDShow and it is hacking. The picture freezes a second or two and
then
continues, after 5-10 seconds it freezes again. Audio is OK. I quit MCE
and
use Media Player Classic, same effect. I have a Geforce5200 card and a
3
GHz
CPU (which runs only on about 60% btw when this happens...).

I play the same movie on a much simpler PC, integrated graphics, slower
CPU,
using either Media Player 10 or Media Player Classic - and no hacking
what
so
ever? CPU runs at about 20% only. (Not FFDShow on that PC).

Is it FFDShow playing me a trick here or where is the bottleneck?
