Any news on this one?

And it looks like i was being hard headed...

I did lots of googling to find that it is indeed a driver issue. This is really a pain in the ass for me since most of my HTPC rigs use ATI cards with HDMI. So i'm pretty much boned, unless anyone has any idea how t ofix it, or an alternative to get video acceleration.

Just some manual intervention required - set overscan for each refresh rate your likely to use and they will stick (changing as you use adjust refresh rate) - been using 10.6 since its release and with this exception everything else works as it should

Definitely doesn't work here, driver sweeper is the first thing I use as well. Looking at ATI's forums the issue still persistes with certain hardware configs, My samsumg TV requires 1:1 and the cats default to -10 underscan each refresh change - regardless of any adjustment. Bad ATI, I have even gone to length adding the overscan settings into the registry to no avail. At least 10.1 works beautifully.

Guess I must just be lucky then - that certainly makes a change Nod

What cards are you using, version of ccc and which version of xbmc? I and others have been using dxva virtually troublefree for some weeks if not months now.

Forgot to include this info again.

I'm using Cat 10.6s, but i tried the 10.4s with no luck. Build is 31321 but i tried others.

Card i am having issues with is the Radeon 3450. This is on Windows 7 64bit Ultimate

I tried the head of both the trunk and dsplayer branch last night. I tried this file: http://www.w6rz.net/parkrun1920_18mbps.ts and some SD .ts-files recorded by VDR 1.7.8. DXVA did not get used for any of the files.

In dsplayer branch, dvdplayer failed to play any of the files for some reason (debug log indicated exception during demuxing or something like that). It is possible that the build was somehow screwed.

I don't have the debug logs at hand right now, sorry about that.

Are you sure you ran Driver sweeper in save mode? This was critical in my case.
