CPU at 100% during Over-the-Air HD digital broadcast
My SageTV Server:
Hardware: Asus A8N-VM CSM Motherboard Athlon64 3200+ 2GHz 512MB RAM Asus GeForce 7600 GS 256MB RAM Creative Labs X-Fi XtremeGamer Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 Western Digital 500GB 7200rpm SATA Software: Windows XP Pro SageTV 6.1.45 nVidia PureVideo The problem: I use the HVR-1600 to view/capture basic cable from my provider. The goal of upgrading to the HVR-1600 was to be able to view Over-the-Air HD boardcast as well as tune the basic cable channels that are available. Tuning and watching basic cable channels works great. However, when I connect my HD capable antenna and try to "View" the dectected channels in the program list setup, the CPU jumps to 100% useage. The channels will come in, but since the CPU is maxed out they are jerky and frames are dropped. I think that my hardware should be able to handle the HD feed, but it appears not to be able to. Maybe I do not have some kind of "Hardware" transcoding happening and the CPU is being forced to process everything?? Does anyone have any idea? Last edited by mike400hp; 03-18-2007 at 08:54 PM. |

I have close to the same hardware and OTA HD runs at about 20% cpu utilization. Pure video set to
Display type - content default De-interlace control - automatic Deinterlace mode - VMR default prefer VMR9 I found that using AC3 filter for audio decoding did seem to make things smoother.Have you updated Java lately? |

Are you using UNC paths to your storage?

No... I use E:\Videos..
I reinstalled the PureVideo codec and set sage to use the "Default" decoder. That seems to have resolved the choppy video and high CPU useage. However, I cannot hear audio. I have read that there should be a PureVideo tray icon that should appear when the computer is using that codec. There is not an icon that appears. How do I get into the PureVideo settings?
