    The ESVP setting is available in CCC. I have it checked, but don’t see any differences.

    I believe that if you enable too much video processing functions, ESVP will prevent frame drops by disabling some processing.

    WOW!
    Now I have a picture that looks almost like the original source from my HD-DVR.

    I turned off most of the processing (noise reduction, edge, etc.). But the most important was to set Limited RGB (16 to 235) instead of Full RGB (0-255). Now the blacks are black and the whites are white.

    The last thing: I’m not able to set the resolution to native 1360×768 60Hz. I’m now configured at 1280×720 60HZ with some overscan. CCC offers 1360×768 30 Hz, but not 60 Hz…

    It was available via DVI, but not with HDMI…

    I installed the latest version of TMT3 about 1 month ago, so it’s not really old.

    It seems to happen when a switch occurs, like when jumping from disc menu to movie. Maybe it’s switching from 2.0 to 5.1 audio, or something like that.

    It was working correctly with my onboard sound card. I’m now using the ATI HDMI audio.

    I’ve seen the problem with the movie The Warlords.

    I retested part 3, and I sometimes have the audio in the movie. If I don’t, I can stop the movie, restart it, and it might work. Maybe a bug somewhere with the drivers…

    I installed my Radeon 5550 and connected HDMI. Now I have a few questions:

    1- With DVI, the recommended resolution was 1360×768, while it’s 1280×720 when using HDMI. Should I try to force to the native resolution for 1:1 pixel mapping over hdmi, or should I stick with 720p?

    2- Should I check the Use GPU scaling box? And use ITC?

    3- When playing a bluray, I don’t have any sound during the movie, only a noisy isshhhh. I do have sound in the bluray menu. Maybe bitstreaming is not working? Or a codec is missing? I use TMT3 for bluray playback.

    I just ordered a 5550 card. I will give some feedback after testing.

    Well that sounds possible. Maybe a 4xxx card with a HDMI port works great, but mine only has a DVI and VGA port.

    I think I’ll try to upgrade to a 5xxx card. Also, my secondary HTPC has a Radeon HD 3600 card. Would I see a difference between a 3600 and a 5xxx?

    There are some differences in the quality of the deinteracing they are capable of.  Generally it is recomended that you stick to the 5570 or 5670 if you want the most capable 1080i deinterlacing performance.  After the 5670, there is no difference in quality. 

    I would go for a fanless 5550 with DDR3 memory personally.

    you prefer a fanless card vs the performance difference between a 5550 and a 5670?

    Thanks for your support

    The text on a website is sharp. Windows and media center interface is also sharp.

    It’s only when watching videos that there is some “washed out”. The image is good, but not great. For example, the details and colors are better on a standalone DVD player than via media center. Same thing for bluray and live tv.

    It’s not a performance problem. The smoothness is good and it’s not a deinterlacing problem.

    Also, the blacks and whites are not as pure as they should be.

    Concerning the upgrade, I do have a HD-PVR (1080i contents).

    Thanks for your help!
