best dvd player for mce

[Dark Atheist]

i know best is subjective but wmp in vista mce sucks balls and wont de interlace and it looks nasty, which player would people suggest?

 

[_kC_]

isnt the interlace options a part of the codec?

i use nvidia codec & mce2005

within mce's interface there is a control panel for the nvidia codec, and it has options for intelace/deinterlace

it doesn't work on vista x64 😉 - i tried it, yes it works great under MCE2005 but no under vista 🙁

edit: seems to be doing it more so on American films, stuttering and such

I am using TMT (Arcsoft total media theatre) and I really like it. Builds itself right in to MCE, and plays back Blu-ray and HD DVD too 🙂 There is even a Nvidia cuda up-scaler plug-in which works really well in my opinion.

I been doing some research on it and they are said to be the best ones now ..

you won't go wrong with a mini 🙂

keep eyeing them myself so that I can get myself in to more support roles.

Anyway back on topic, 😛
3Dfiend have you tried using FFdshow? you should be able to configure that to deinterlace the dvds all within MCE, I will try and find you a link when I get home tonight.

thanks - i'll be waiting 🙂 im also wondering if its anything to do with the stuttering xvid and mkvs i had a while back when i had to change something in the nvidia control panel, think i had to move edges in, might try that again

seems to be fine under win7 so must be an issue with the built in mpeg2 codec in vista 🙁
