Upgraded PVR machine - now VMR9 looks terrible
I have been running SageTV v4.1 for quite a while now, on a dedicated PVR machine with a 1.17GHz celeron using a Hauppage PVR-250 and a simple ATI Radeon for video output. I was quite satisfied with the image quality using the VMR9 renderer.
I upgraded the machine yesterday to an Athlon64 3200+, on an MSI board with integrated GeForce 6150 GPU, which I'm running directly (DVI-HDMI) into my new TV. Still with the PVR-250. For some reason the VMR9 rendering looks terrible now - I can see the video fine, but there are purple and white pixels arrayed all over. Overlay rendering looks fine, but I miss the transparancy. I upgraded to PureVideo renderers, and also to SageTV v5, but the problem persists...the rendering looks fine with overlay and default renderers, and crappy with the VMR9. I'm pretty certain this must be a software problem, hence I'm posting here and not in the hardware forum. Does anyone have a clue what's going on?

There is a setting that you have to enable with PureVideo for it to work correctly on a 6150 based board. I don't play back my recordings with Sage, but with TheaterTek so I can't help you directly. I did experience the exact same thing however. This is a setting that somehow you must correct. With TheaterTek, I had to enable ALL the check boxes under the Video tab/Advanced settings for it to work correctly.
