In powerDVD I have hardware acceleration on (though I've tried turning it off as well) - it says "Enable Hardware acceleration (ATI Avivo)"īut I'm not sure what to use for interlacing. I have the dvi output plugged into my 1368x768 Panasonic 50" plasma.īasically I'm not sure of some of the video settings. I have two 1GB sticks of ram, the E6700, and the ATI 1950x 512MB card and the auzentech meridian sound card. Though the player itself says "HDDVD Blu-Ray Next-Gen PowerDVD v7.3". The About screen doesn't list the build, and it actually says powerDVD Ultra 7.2. But I bought powerDVD back in April, and hadn't upgraded since then. I never had build 2911 of powerDVD, at least I don't think I did. I don't know if it is the latest powerDVD 3104a build that I installed, or the latest ATA drivers I just installed, or a combination of the two. I've been having problems lately with some major frame drop. Thanks.Ĭlick to expand.I have a question sarah99 or Slyfox1, I have read around some various forums (like ) but it is hard to find specific information.
that you want to provide would be appreciated. And I would be running vista home premium.Īny other info. Is there any real advantage to going with quad core over the models above? I do no gaming by the way.Ĥ) What type of power supply would you recommend? In addition to the Cpu and graphics card mentioned, I would be hooking up at least 4 500 internal hard drives, as well as a blu ray drive. And if not, what graphics card would you recommend?ģ) I was planning on going with either the intel 6700 or 6750 cpu. Does anyone know if this card is compatible with a pioneer plasma display. I am thinking about building a HTPC to hook up to my Pioneer 4360 plasma but have some questions for those of you who are hooked up to displays of this type.ġ) How difficult is it to make adjustments with PDVD to ensure the video quality is equal to that of standalone BD and HD DVD players? Before I would build it, I would want to know that the quality is going to be the same as the stand alone units I have.Ģ) Second, I was planning on getting the ATI Radeon 2600xt as a graphics card.
