Asus GF-FX 5200
PVR-250
WD 160gb Storage dump
512GB Mushkin PC2100 Ram


OH THE TROUBLE IVE HAD WITH YOU!

but finally

Setup Tips - what finially worked for me
Use Intervideo NonCSS codec, Even over NDVD even with nvidia cards.

Make sure the regedit has Bobweave=2, the other two settings to 1, and turn deinterlacing to HARDWARE (in beyondtv and regedit) -- This is what cuased my playback to use more than 100% cpu - now it finally uses 30% or so.

Then the ultimate Test: SPORTS!

I actually had to turn UP my bitrate to get rid of some jerk/blur. I used to be all conservative becuase the cpu usage was too high.

Now i am using a VBR of 6MB/s-9MBs with 224k/s audio, 100% motion precision 25% Video noise reduction

I turned DOWN the sharpness in the registry also.

Looks so good now on my TV - Of course my only input option is Composite but soon im looking into buying a LCD projector to make my room into a real "home theater"

Oh yeah, put my old computer speakers out here (3pc Altec-Lansing with a bigass sub)

Hell yeah
