ReClock chitchat

[leeperry]

indeed! w/ a 23.976 MKV file(1.5mbit DTS) in 48.000Hz, I've started at 3.5ms jitter and 45 mins later it had reached 4.8ms...so the friggin' jitter mumbo jumbo seems to have been solved

and I'm buying a killer headphones amp, so I'll be able to use my 100% bit-perfect drivers..as it's got a volume knob: Burson HA-160 Headphones Amplifier
now, if only we could have 192kHz oversampling in Reclock

hummm Haali didn't touch the HR dll(date is still January 2009), he only tweaked his splitter..23.976 MKV w/ DTS has better jitter now, but w/ AC3 it's actually worse than before.

and it's nowhere near as smooth as mVR! also it won't do any color management, back to mVR FTW

and SQ really sucks in Reclock when you go from bit-perfect FLAC to 47952Hz resampling, but I'll stop whining.

BTW, for sake of keeping this thread alive: Game Booster

it doesn't help THAT much on my trimmed down XP, but on some stock W7 this should prolly be killer to run Reclock

So I'm on W7 Pro now!

Can't believe how easy it was. Who designed it? Can't be any team involved in any other version of Windows surely!

I'm uisng the HDMI port on my 5750 to send LPCM (my amp cannot decode compressed HD audio). WASAPI only seems to work @16-bit, 24-bit and 32-bit are a no go. Any ideas?

At the moment I am using Directshow for LPCM ("stick to the defaults"). I've lost track of the whole 96khz situation. I know this is not supported officially but is there a "hacked" resampler that forces 96khz for all?

Any help very much appreciated!

so what's so amazing? the moronic GUI that hogs the GPU, or the zillion useless background processes doing funky stuff in the back?

What annoys me w/ XP is that the VSYNC control is simply BROKEN...and getting a smooth movie in windowed mode takes more LUCK than anything else..frustating! but hopefully soon enough mVR will support D3D exclusive mode

there's a hacked resampling DLL for 96/192kHz oversampling, but there's additional delay for the audio(depending on the adaptation so it's not fixed, and a major PITA to deal w/), it doesn't work for 24fps@48Hz(all you get is stuttering 2X pitchshifted audio)...and James has left the ship, so good luck w/ that

[Jong]

OK. Thanks. I knew you would have the answer,even if a disappointing one.

[leeperry]

care to explain why W7 is so amazing?

I thought Aero would just screw things up even further?

[Jong]

Both PDVD and MPC-HC disable Aero, so they are unaffected.

Aero does fix tearing in Flash video so makes BBC iPlayer and other online video watchable, especially with the new 10.1 beta with GPU acceleration.

WPF is so much smoother than on XP and also tear free. Good because it is used by meediOS, my HTPC front-end.

The UI is a whole lot better than XP or Vista IMO. So many nice little touches. Probably all copied off Apple, but still. Oh. and it is noticeable quicker than Vista AND XP. things like task switching seem to work better. Scheduling seems improved.

My main surprise though was how easy it went on. Installed in a fraction of the time of Vista. I did not have to install any drivers myself - it found them all behind the scenes and silently installed them. All my apps went on without a hitch. Just no issues at all; a positively pleasant experience, which I have never, ever known with a Windows installation before.

[Jong]

Oh... and what pushed me into it in the first place, I could not get 7.1 channel LPCM out of my 5750 on XP. The drivers are maybe just broken. Increasingly when you flag therse things you get a kind of shrug of "Oh that's probably an XP thing .... hmm, might look at that one day when all else in the world is peachy". You can feel them turn off. It was just time.

[leeperry]

WPF? isn't that linked w/ .net 3.0?

so what about EVR or mVR in MPC/KMP? coz on XP it takes a friggin miracle to get a movie smooth for more than 1H in windowed mode

if I ever make the W7 switch, I'd like to be sure that this VSYNC control issue has been adressed...but well, it had already been fixed in Vista I think. HPET helps a lot for realtime use, XP relies on worthless legacy timers

and there's zillions of background processes?!?! Vista was terrible for that.
