Hello,

I am having some issues getting the best decoder to work with Vista Media Center. I am using an ATI video card with Component output to the TV. I have used the VMCD utility to adjust which decoder I use:

With the Microsoft Mpeg decoder, HDTV works fine, but DVD playback in VMC is jerky.

With the Cyberlink PowerDVD decoder 7, the video is not as jerky but is still a little bit. Also, I cannot use the Cyberlink Audio decoder. With the audio decoder selected, on starting DVD playback VMC crashes and gives an error report.

With the NVIDIA PureVideo decoder, the video playback is flawless. However, the sound is out of sync and the audio settings will not keep the SPDIF output I select. Everytime I open VMC it reverts back to 2-ch mode in the decoder control panel.

All in all, if I could get the Microsoft decoder to playback DVDs without being jerky, that would be ideal. But if I must, another decoder would be fine.

Any suggestions?

THanks,

John CHapman
If I could tell you the issues I've had with that Catalyst software. I'm currently running v7.7 and find this the most stable of the lot thus far. I joined the party around the early 7's and had pretty poor picture quality issues. DVB-T here in the UK was ghosting then things got better around the mid 7's before getting worse 7.9 onwards. The two most recent 8.3 & 8.4 have improved slightly but 7.7 is certainly stable for me. I'd definitely suggest going back and trying 7.7. I've mailed ATI and they say they've had no other complaints but I've seen a few posts now from others experiencing similar issues. I'm using the Radeon 1600x low profile with VGA & HDMI. The VGA is much better than the HDMI by the way. Let us know how you get on.
