SageTV 5.0.4 and a 256MB GeForce 6200 - stuttering?
Hey everyone,
It's been a little while since I've really posted anything, but over the past weekend I had a *small* problem - my OS drive failed in my SageTV server. No backups. Doh. Anyway, I rebuilt the system using what is listed in my sig below, along with these other details: OS - Windows Server 2003 Mirrored OS drives (using software mirroring) - video is stored in non-mirrored partitions or another drive I also decided to upgrade my video card from a 64MB GeForce 4 440MX to a 256MB GeForce 6200. At this point, the picture quality is superb, except for a video stutter that takes place every 20-30 seconds. I would think this hardware would be capable in the following config: Standard def. TV / VMR9 / FSE / Nvidia MPEG Decoder (nearly latest version - Mar 06?) / latest Nvidia drivers / Sage Server disabled (seems to have no effect) / no bob/weave settings Am I missing something, or should I not expect perfectly smooth playback with this config? Also, where do I go to configure the Nvidia codec in Windows Media Player 10?? I can't seem to find the settings for it Help!!!

I think I got it - changed fro Smart to Auto in the decoder properties.
Now, to figure out why my new pvr-150 card seems more washed-out than the 250's..
