try using the AVIVO codecs for it...

i haven't had a chance to do any more with mine yet...hoping too over the next few days...

Hi Pantonious,

Already tried that, see my previous post in this thread about the failings of the ATI codec.

No ffwd or rrwd on dvr-ms, Video Error when playing DVD.

I'll probably wait until they iron out the bugs with the AVIVO software/decoders before i part with my beloved money, for now i might try NVIDIA's PureVideo HD/normal.

Anyone else managed to do some further bug testing?

Innie808 · **27th July 2007, 12:06 PM**

Ok, I thought i should share my codec setup with the 2400xt.

Codecs I tried and issues:

1)Set avivo 7.7 in DECCHECK and VMCD.
Positives : Great SD and HD TV Quality and DVD Quality.
................Native Hardware decoding for all formats.(h.264/VC1/MPG2/WMVHD)
Negatives: No FFWD or RRWD in DVRMS

2)Set MSCODEC in VMCD.
Positives:Great SD and DVD Quality. FFWD and RRWD ability

Negatives: Green Screen on HD Recorded and live TV.

3)Set Cyberlink in DECCHECK and the Cyberlink BR - HD Decoder in VMCD.
Positives: Excellent PQ and Quality on both SD TV and HD TV
...............DVD's look Great
...............FFWD and RRWD Work
...............No Green Screen Issues.
...............Native Hardware decoding for all formats.(h.264/VC1/MPG2/WMVHD)

So at this point with the current state of the Avivo Codec, Cyberlink is the only bug free codec.

When ATI progress down their driver and codec updates track, I would probably prefer the AVIVO codec as the image was nearly flawless on SD & HD TV. DVD's were crispy clear with no PQ issues at all.

yea, i have found the exact same thing Innie808...except i could not get DVDs working with AVIVO...

however, i have not been able to get PowerDVD working...but that was because i wasn't using DecCheck..i will give it a try tonight

EDIT!
the version of Deccheck...was that just the one off the M$ website for WinXP? or a different one???

EDIT EDIT!
Forgot to mention...i got the DVI->HDMI adaptor from my friend who bought a 2900XT...and it works

YAY!

Excellent thanks! Purchasing this card soon.

Howdy,

DECCHECK was the MS one used for XP.

Word of warning: If you don't set Cyberlink in DECCHECK, but set it in VMCD, when you go to High Def TV in Media Center, it will crash out with looping audio, So make sure Cyberlink is set in DECCHECK and VMCD.

I had AVIVO in DECCHECK and CYBERLINK in VCMD and it created all sort of problems.

pantonious · **27th July 2007, 05:15 PM**

hmm...the PowerDVD doesn't show up in the VMCD...i only have the M$ and AVIVO...

Damoo · **28th July 2007, 04:28 PM**

I just bought a HD 2400XT (XpertVision "Sonic") and i'm getting green screen on HDTV channels with the standard microsoft decoder, i couldn't get 7.7 to install the display driver when i downloaded it so now i suppose i just should get the AVIVO 7.7 from their site and install it? I'll do that now.

Where do i get DECCHECK btw? Thanks.

EDIT: I grabbed the AVIVO 7.7 package from their site but no AVIVO or ATI codec appears in the VMCD program, also 7.7 keeps refusing to install the driver so i'm stuck with 7.6. I cant watch HDTV without it.

Y didn't they install? i never had any problems...i would make sure they go on right before loaing AVIVO...

however, AVIVO will cause other problems....namely DVDs not playing and being unable to fastforward/reverse recorded TV...
