Hard to read scrolling text

Howdy,

On one of the news channels it has scrolling text along the bottom of the screen.
This is hard to read, is there a way to improve the quality of it please?

Thanks,

simon.

I found that reclock helps with this, but I have problems with stuttering and sync issues after a while.

This is where a hardware decoder makes a real difference over software. I did some testing comparing it to my XCard and Intervideo with and without reclock. My connection to the TV is DVI so it is a good quality connection.

unreadable horizontal scrolling text (and blurry/stuttering horizontal panning) is usually an interlacing issue... (see www.100fps.com)
If you can change the deinteralcing settings in your MPG decoder, to auto-select or bob (instead of weave) it might help...

Each system is different, but I found my best settings were:

Overlay renderer
Cyberlink PowerDVD4 with HW accelleration and Auto-select deinterlace enabled internally
DXVA mode B
DXVA deinterlace bob/weave

With this, i get good PQ with hardly any deinterlacing artifacts..
