We have a media center system that was recently built. It works well for all types of content, however it has issues with 1080p content. 720p plays fine.

I have tried VLC, ffdshow and finally, CoreAVC. CoreAVC plays the best however it still eventually loses sync due to stutter - this does not happen on other systems with the same file.

Specs: Asrock 4core-2dual sata

PCI Express ATI 2400 HD

1.5GB DDR 2100

Intel Pentium E5300

120GB Maxtor Diamondmax PATA

Any ideas?

Neither is capable of using the fullscreen even though the monitor reports the input is 1080p. I… >>> More

I've read several posts that almost answer my question, but not quite. I have a Samsung LN32C530 1080p HDTV I'd like to use as a monitor. I was reasonably successful getting the prior 720p model to work ok using SwitchResX, but I think I just got lucky with the parameters (1360x768@60Hz). I tried… >>> More
