Hello all, ive been reading alot of posts around here and wanted to ask one thing.
I have satellite on my computer and am using the program AltDVB, but when i am watching HDTV it seems to lag, like its sort of a bit choppy when the camera is moving fast, and my cpu usage is around 20-60%
My computer is an ...
AMD athlon 3500+
ATI 256mb x800GT
2 GB of ram
250GB SATA HDD
and a twinhan 102g satellite card
and for what its worth these channels are from bev

and i have tried using nvidia, cyberlink and intervideo codecs, i was just wondering if my computer is fast enough to handle smooth HD, and is there any other codecs i should try? I have high signal on my Satellite channels so that is not the problem.

or
is there a way i can remove this "lag" later on when i am encoding my videos.
Thanks alot to anyone who can help

use coreavc(for h264 channels as luxe hd) and set skip all deblocking and directshow deinterlacing and in your sat player(the best is dvbviewer)set overlay mixer.for mpeg2 channels I prefer nvidia purevideo

Im guessing bell HD channels are mpeg2 (right?).
and i just realized one thing, when i record the video (to a .ts file)
and watch it using MPC it does not lag like when i am watching it live,
I am using Nvidia codecs for sound and video.
Any other suggestions, and i could not get "DVBViewer" to work with my card.
