I've got the same problem. My HD channels are not as smooth as they should be. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I think it's probably your 7800GS, which doesn't have h264 hardware support, so all the decoding is done by the CPU. Which might be fine, but I'm guessing if you use purevideo HD codec with an 8000 or 9000 series Nvidia, you will have good success.

Also -- try the arcsoft h264 codec, found in arsoft total media extreme (trial version ok). For me, it is smoother (though that changes if I change the channel), but it also seems like a lower quality picture (to me).

H264CODEC8 /is a sample H264CODECX /X = 1..99/

Hi SlavoF,
just read your post, thank you for that.I entered that text into the guids.ini file.Do I need to do anything else for those settings to be used?, as it's not made any difference to the jerkiness.
