A good video rig would be a 3 GHz processor (pref dual) and 3-4 GB of ram, and probably a 512 card, then you should be fine with the proper codecs.


thats unnecessary. my HTPC is a pentium 4 with 1gb ram and i have no problem pushing 1080p. its all about how you set up the video card.



How would you do that with windows? I spent a few days trying every codec and player out there, but not one worked smoothly.


I JUST figured this out about 5 days ago.  I have a Q6600 (2.4GHz quad), with 4GB of DDR2 800Mhz RAM and an 8800GTS.  I could not get 1080p to play smoothly for so long.  I finally decided to install individual codecs instead of packs, in order to use hardware acceleration.

Next, download AC3Filter and Haali Media Splitter and install them.

Use Windows Media Player for playback, it should be perfect!

Actually, I recomended Winamp because it has a HD visualizer (audio-to-abstract-visual effects), not because it plays HD video. SOrry about the mix-up.

The visualizer, most notably "Milk Drop" is crazy psychedelic, perfect for at-home tripping. :psychsplit:

Winamp does play video, just not HD video.

Enjoy the Visualizer :mushroom2:

I knew what u were talking about with the winamp vizualizer. I was talking about the video card as long as it will play HD video. My 128mb geforce plays them very choppy. I will surely try it out while listening to some tunes.

Blu rays can do a max of 1080i over Component!

frith said:
yeah man cite your shit or STFU.

1080p is not a defined standard but it is absolutely possible.
Source: http://is.gd/87Pkk

watching a bluray over component will downscale to 720p because HDCP is not possible over an analog connection.


WRONG!

http://www.lge.com/us/tv-audio-video/video/LG-blu-ray-dvd-player-BD590.jsp




ok so bluray downscales to 1080i instead of 720p. either way it still downscales. there is no technical reason it cant do 1080p.

initially HDCP would restrict component video to 720p:
http://is.gd/87VIJ

component is definitely capable of 1080p. you get 1080p via component for games but not movies. this is because of HDCP.

Maybe this screenshot of its specs page at AMD.ATi website will help ease your uncertainity...



Sounds like you got some HD capabilities now, I just don't know how advanced it is. Should be enough, HD is pretty old now, and this card only came out a couple years ago, so your golden for the High-Density Visuals.

I'm glad you already know about Winamp Visualizer. Isn't it great to stare at on acid?

I think it is

Im running XP on the box, but i use AC3 and Haali as they were the best of what i tried.

I have 3 players, VLC, BS player, and MP classic. I honestly just try each one with a movie, and see which plays it the best. :shrug:


And i thought i had the 8500gt, but i evidently went bargan and got the 8400gs. Its supposed to still have offloading capabilities, but no matter what driver i use, my processor is maxed out, and i cant seem to figure out why nvidia's CUDA isnt working.

Im guessing its due to running XP, but they said they would have drivers for XP in July of 07, so that shouldent be it.

Re: Video Card Help [Re: ThirdEyeOpening]

the software has to be compiled with support for offloading.

as far as i know, vlc does not support it natively. you would have to recompile it with the proper flags. i have no idea how to do that on windows.

xbmc and mplayer work out of the box on linux but im not sure about their windows counterparts... give it a shot :shrug:

YAY!!!!

I tried XMBC because i was kinda looking for a decent front end program anyways, and i went with the build with the Direct Show Player built in.

I had to change some of the dsfilterconfig.xml to make sure it would use haali and not mpcvideodec for the .mkv and it plays transformers 2 1080p SEAMLESSLY!  Finnaly i can get GPU offloading!

Just cant wait till they finish DSplayer v2.0 for XP (only vista/7 currently)

I was trying to get XBMC to use DSplayer by default on .mkv's instead of the DVDplayer by making the advancedsetting.xml, but for some reason it wouldent. Its no big deal, i can still right click the file and tell it which player to open with.

Thanks so much for the help frith +5 :mushroom2: for you, wish i could give more!

Re: Video Card Help [Re: Fastfirebird]

Could be your CPU. I remember I put my 4850 inside my dad's 2.7GHz Dual core, and some things lagged.

But when I run the same card in my 2.5Ghz Quad-core, it runs very smooth.

Do you have a CPU meter installed? If so, watch it as you watch movies to make sure the CPU isn't topping out....Then report back.

I hope its not your card

whats the name of that meter? Im running dual core 3ghz

Re: Video Card Help [Re: Fastfirebird]
    #12029202 -

Oh, if you're running a dual-core 3Ghz, then its likely not the CPU.

But if you still wanna find out if it *could* be, the meter is called "CPU Usage" and its avaliable FREE at "Windows Gallery". Its a widget that installs into your Sidebar....Are you running Vista or higher?

There's other ones that look like CPU Usage, but they are not as good. This one shows each core running simitalously, its pretty cool to watch what core the PC uses at one time: its not all of them at equal intensity. Weird right? PC's do some interesting things....

Anyway, check it out. Its a great thing to have running on your screen....

Also, run "ATi Catalyst" OVERDRIVE. There's a GPU meter in that mode, and you can monitor how hard your card is working with a Speedometer-style meter. Its pretty cool.

One last thing, what size screen do you have? If its REALLY big, then that could lag the card. If its like 22" or smaller, shouldn't be an issue.

Report back you got it running.

:facepalm:

its still choppy because you arent doing cpu offloading.

make sure you have the right drivers installed, download XBMC and see what cpu usage looks like. you --->NEED<--- (KEY WORD) to use software that is compiled with support for cpu offloading. not everything is going to work unless you download the source code and recompile it yourself.

if you are offloading to the video card the cpu does not need to be some top of the line power house. again, im using an old 3.8ghz P4 and i have no problems.

1080 is 1080 no matter if the display is 22" or 60".
