mpeg2 encoded Blu Ray disc not playing smoothly - Blu-ray Forum

shankar_roy · 03-25-2008, 11:42 PM

When I play Blu Ray DVD encoded as MPEG-4 AVC like Cars, Ratatouille
or VC-1 like Polar Express it plays fine.

But when I try to play a Blu Ray like Over California encoded with mpeg2, I have issues with the playback.

I have found that the "Over California" one has a high bit rate almost 40Mbps.

The DVD has no issue as I tried it on my friends Playstation 3 and it plays perfectly.

Now can anybody suggest what could be the solution to the issue.

My m/c is a Compaq Presario SR1710NX with 3 GB RAM, Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit, Power DVD Delux 7.3.3516, LG GGW-H20L Blu Ray burner and Sapphire HD 2400 PRO PCIe vide card.

The Bly Ray drive is connected to a SATA1 (150Mbps) connector.

The HD 2400 Pro cards do have issues with MPEG 2 acceleration. have a look on the AVS forums this thread in particular http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...php?p=13449838

The registry setting as suggested in avsforum did not help.

Unfortunately thats the best i can do as they have tried everything over there. I presume you've tried all the revisions of the 8x catalyst drivers?

shankar_roy · 04-02-2008, 04:38 PM

I have tried the Ati Catalyst 8.2 and 8.3 drivers.

I am gonna try the drivers directly from Sapphires site. Though I doubt it would make any difference.

Thanks for your help.

Drivers from Sapphires site was of no use as expected.

Nvidia makes the best cards for BD playback. If you have an open PCI-E port - I would buy a 8500gt or above (if your a gamer go for a 9 series).

I appreciate you advice.

I am trying to get some low end components to work so that I can build some more.

Which card plays the best blu-ray is open to debate prerich

You like Nvidia i like ATI, you like Ford i like Chrysler etc etc. Personal choice. And normally the cheapest to be honest

As long as it accelerates MPEG4-AVC / VC1 (with stable drivers

) doesn't matter which card you get for blu-ray. Thats where google is your friend !!!

The ATI 2400 Pro has driver issues (wasn't really a good card from the outset to be honest) but Nvidia products under Vista has them too.

In the end it's you pays your money you takes your chance

I can only go off my personal experience (and budget!) ATI great picture quality - Nvidia great gaming. Either way Vista suxs bigtime!!
