Other channels such as Arte HD (arte > HD;ZDFvision:11362:hC23M5O0S1:S19.2E:22000:6210:6221=deu,6222=fra:6230:0:11120:1:1011:0) > work OK. > Actually interlaced video kinda makes sense for sports and other live video.. you get 50 fields per second, so the movement is smooth.. If you look at interlaced video on a progressive display, then you need to do pretty heavy deinterlacing, preferrably using "full motion" methods to get 50 or 100 fps output.. takes a lot of CPU. Check http://www.100fps.com Where did you get that stream from btw? Digita is broadcasting this channel as 720p in DVB-T.. dunno if it's 25 fps or 50 fps.. Hopefully not 25 fps.. In what format is that Arte HD? -- Pasi _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
