Progdvb , CoreAVC & HD

Is it possible to watch BBCHD channel with the free Standard version of Progdvb.

I have already paid for coreavc, so do I now have to puchase the pro version of Progdvb too?

Or is there a recommended free alternative software that will make use of coreavc to be able to watch the Hd stuff?

I have a Skystar2 card btw.

Cheers

DVBDream with CoreAVC will do it - and it's free, unlike ProgDVB Pro.

Skystar 2 will be OK, but you need a meaty processor. Mine works OK with a 2.8GHz Pentium though.

Well I persisted with Progdvb (elecard edition) and a downloaded filtergraph called avc.OVRL_CoreAVC_AC3.xgr.

I also needed xecore.ax to stop progdvb complaining.

My AMD 4600+ X2 seems to be ok at around 80% usage but occasionally picture stutters.

Is 1gig of ram to little ???

I recently changed up to 2gig, but I seem to remember it was OK before with 1.

Processor running at 58%, no probs with pic.

Not sure I'll bother with more ram then yet.

Really struggling to get bbc hd in 16:9 format. The picture appears to be 4:3 in progdvb.
Anyone know how to fix this ?

Here's the graph options I'm using in DVBDream.

My CPU is a lowly Intel Core2 CPU 4400 2GHz, not a 2.8 I mentioned (that's on my other PC).

Video card an nvidia GEforce 8500GT.

Appreciate you're reply, cheers.

Ive got dvbdream working perrfectly now.
I can only get coreavc codec working perfectly in Dvbdream when the arcsoft codec total media package is installed on my system.....strange

Just need to figure out the best decrypting program now, vplug or s2emu.

Good news. vplug seems to be the best, updated frequently with v_keys/softcam. It's what I use anyway.
