It's a simple tick box in VLC, but its never been very good for me, VLC always stutters even with the CPU with Crazyscan. I often have to make note of the frequency, open up transedit and run it GPU there with DIVX since it handles H.264 4:2:2 better than ffdshow.

Wont be long till H.265 is in wider use, it's already in test on Astra 1, just when all my equipment was H.264 capable.
 
thanks again lads, ok my pc has turned up and this is what I have now, another Q please, do I need the graphics card to fit in the red slot ?,

Yes, the AGP slot with key on the end if it's the card type you have.
 
thanks Liew, I did have a read up and just popped to maplins and picked one up, also my card has turned up, all ready for fitting now but my grandkids and daughters are here atm, the graphics card should be on top of the job according to its spec,

but at the end of the day its only for feed hunting, I don't watch much tv.

Oh heck I think you're right CJ

@martin-f Sorry for the misinfo,are they the only available slots?
 
Just checked the picture of the card - it's a PCIe card, so it'll fit OK.
 
thank again just installing the G/C atm, it looks like a need a longer power lead for the sat card, i will have to see if i can re-route them to start with :-)
 
both cards installed and working i ended up bodging the power lead by cutting a plug from the old pc and joining it to the newer one,

i expected the new pc i bought today being formatted :-0, i think i best format it by the looks of this :-0,

It is possible, install TSReaderLite, point Invoke Analyser to it exe and then TSReaderLite should open up VLC

http://www.tsreader.com/tsreader/
 
having a quick look at the tsreader it looks like the pro version is available for free with a little know how, would that one be better please.
 
Not the Pro AFAIK. THe standard version yes.

When you exe TSReader, you'll need to add this command in the pop-up to point to it. -

-s TSReader_TCP %ip% %port%
 
thankyou I will give it a go after the updates, I must say I am very impressed with the graphics card,

I get a great picture on my tv, I have tested a few hd channels and it works fine, I will have to see how it performs through vlc when I get it up and running :-).
 
i am just playing with dvb viewer and its not finding much 1 channel here, and I know theres lots more, what am I doing wrong please ?
