Hi,

I have a HTPC with:

Motherboard: GA-E7AUM-DS2H (rev. 1.0) with NVIDIA GeForce 9400 chipset
CPU: Intel Duo Core 3GHz
Ram: 4 Gig ram
OS: Vista

Still when using HDMI output from PC connected to my Samsung the picture is "choppy" when playing movies. Even "ripped" dvd movies are choppy!

Do I need to upgrade the hardware?:confused2:

I have Vista installed on a old SSD disk. Can the SSD disk cause any prob?

I knew a friend of mine had problems with Windows XP and his Sony Bravia where he had to enable an option ... I can't remember what it was, but maybe you'll find something in your TV menu...

PS: I'll ask him if I see him again.

the problem is vista and XBMC without GPU acceleration
try XBMC 9.11 live, it should work flawless on your hardware

if you must stay with windows, upgrade to win7 and follow the instructions to get DXVA in XBMC or get the boxee beta

Is it suppurted in XP? Another good reason go get rid of Vista??

[Hannes The Hun]

yes, you could also try it with XP

for everything else, I suggest some reading http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=61355

Its weird I have a 3ghz Core 2 duo with onbaord vid, and for me the cpu is enough to give me great quality.

Also Im sill using an older xbmc build on win7, what can I expect from updating to 9.11 live.

Installed XP yesterday and everything works just fine. No more choppy picture
