High CPU usage with DD1.3 recording VS older versions?

oldest posts, i.e. the issues probably dont exists or not valid anymore for the up-to-date DD version. Please let us know if the problems still exist.

Thank you guys. I received the files. But will it not create conflict since I already have Nvidia Pure Video and also, I seach my computer for existing nvviddec.ax and I already have in C:/Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\ForceWare\nStant Media\Codecs. The file size is 568KB.

You can't use both nVidia codecs at the same time.

If you already have nVidia PureVideo, you should be able to select them in DD.

When the nVidia PureVideo codec is in use with DD, just open Video Settings window and double-click on nVidia PureVideo in the list, a new window will be opened. In this window you can activate material acceleration (DXVA).

But as your video card is an old model (not optimized for PureVideo) I think, you'd better use the old 2.55 codecs.

thanks FredB.

Nvidia Pure Video is working. Only I have problems in full screen as the black bar which should be on the top and below is all in the top.

Nvidia 2.55 works only on overlay. but not as stable as Intervideo. 2.55 is turning pink on VMR, VMR9 and Generic, DD crashes.

I think I'll just stick with Intervideo with 50-60% CPU usage. anyway, I can still record two channels in renderless mode.

thank you very much for all your help.

I guess no CPU problems with recording anymore, putting this thread to "rusty posts " section, please start a new thread in bug reports if you come across a problem
DVB Dream - because I have to dream about having time to code it
