Just ask, there are no secrets ;) There's just not enough time to guess what will be of interest... Hi Georg, sorry if that came out as 'they are hiding something', I was really thinking more in terms of 'there are so many variables that the best combination is probably achieved in an environment where the user has much less control as we have in a custom vdr compiled environment, without even taking into account the endless combinations of display devices that people will want to connect to the eHd' That said, I really really would like a different option than 'don't use the scaler on the eHd-HDMI output, it's crap', is there a way to change the scaling algorithm it uses ? Is there any other setting we can work on regarding the eHd outputs, even if they are not listed in the reelbox-3 setup ? For example, I am using the coax digital output on the eHd mini-din, instead of the pass through HDMI (the HDMI cable goes straight to the VPR, the coax cable goes to my main amp), I had to change a couple of lines in the reelbox-3 plugin in order to allow for AC3 to pass through the digital output. The option was there, it just wasn't compiled in because of REELBOXLITE ifdefs What I would like to achieve is decent quality (either scaled or unscaled) SD MPEG-2 output, and by decent I mean at least at the same quality of the MPEG-2 output of a FF card without having to use a 2Keuro deinterlacer. Please note that I'm talking about MPEG processing quality, not still image quality I understand that this is not easy to fine tune because of all the different variables and because of all the 'not straightforward' test environments every single vdr user will have set up. At the moment my vdr 1.7.x install is really basic (vdr, extensions patch, reelbox3 filebrowser xinemediaplayer and menuorg plugins) and I am completely satisfied by the stability (both of vdr and of the eHd) , I even don't notice the problems with the recordings handling (the single frame forward in a recording isn't really working, it looks like it is skipping from i-frame to i-frame (doesnt'do that when going backwards, it is the opposite behaviour as with the ff card, where forward skipping works, while backward skipping goes from i_frame to i-frame ..) If this is still not technical enough I'll go back to my test machine, experiment some more, and come back with more detailed questions ...

Is there any other setting we can work on regarding the eHd outputs, even if they are not listed in the reelbox-3 setup ? Not really. You can either use upscaling without deinterlacing (and get tearing for real interlaced moving signals) or use the chips deinterlacer. That is effectively independent scaling of both fields, so the field order is correct, but fine details show horizontal ghost lines as the interpolation doesn't know anything about the full context. It depends a bit on the display how visible these lines can be seen, some displays seem to have their own filtering and hide them better. There is a third possibility that is currently not settable: Blending. That mixes both fields together. So still pictures are sharp and movements are only blurred and not teared. I can enable it in a experimental linux.bin. BTW: We chose the DeCypher despite a real deinterlacer was missing at the time, because we were told that it will be enabled later. The rest is history... For example, I am using the coax digital output on the eHd mini-din, instead of the pass through HDMI (the HDMI cable goes straight to the VPR, the coax cable goes to my main amp), I had to change a couple of lines in the reelbox-3 plugin in order to allow for AC3 to pass through the digital output. The option was there, it just wasn't compiled in because of REELBOXLITE ifdefs That was because the MiniPCI-Card for the Lite used a DeCypher-revision with a dead SPDIF-port. So we need to feed the AC3 SPDIF output over the main sound card. The AVG-card has a working SPDIF, so the mainboard sound is used only for PCM (if enabled). What I would like to achieve is decent quality (either scaled or unscaled) SD MPEG-2 output, and by decent I mean at least at the same quality of the MPEG-2 output of a FF card without having to use a 2Keuro deinterlacer. Please note that I'm talking about MPEG processing quality, not still image quality You can output 576i over HDMI and let the display do the deinterlacing. But there is a dependency with the analog output that allows only 576p when the analog port should emit 576i (CVBS etc.). For 576i over HDMI you need to switch the analog port completely off. I understand that this is not easy to fine tune because of all the different variables and because of all the 'not straightforward' test environments every single vdr user will have set up.
