oh forgot to say, i did try a couple progressive modelines which seemed to solve any flickering issues (at least on the desktop) but the image was far too big for the screen. i dunno if playing around with the modeline's sizing would fix it, at the time i couldn't really be bothered as wanted to get native interlaced stuff working, though have to say am using Bob on the xbox/xbmc which i think has some kinda progressive output at some point and it looks fine so i might try that on the pc later. --[[User:Pepsi max2k|Pepsi max2k]] 12:00, 30 January 2008 (UTC) | oh forgot to say, i did try a couple progressive modelines which seemed to solve any flickering issues (at least on the desktop) but the image was far too big for the screen. i dunno if playing around with the modeline's sizing would fix it, at the time i couldn't really be bothered as wanted to get native interlaced stuff working, though have to say am using Bob on the xbox/xbmc which i think has some kinda progressive output at some point and it looks fine so i might try that on the pc later. --[[User:Pepsi max2k|Pepsi max2k]] 12:00, 30 January 2008 (UTC) | ||

| + | thanks. just tried out the e image and although it works it is quite slow, maybe 60+ secs in to live tv, skipping video whenever a menu option is selected, 20 secs back to menus etc. is that normal? yeah, Bob deint does seem to be best, but the showstopped there is subtitles just aren't any use (flash on and off, mostly off 90% of the time) and my dad needs to use them so unless it can be fixed i'd have to make do with a poorer image. does it run 768*576 by default then? I assumed it would do 800*600 or 600*400 or something as that's what i've seen in xebian modelines... Anyway, all in all, the xbmc script seems a lot more of a headache to use, and is very quick and easy to use and the image is almost perfect, other than being unaturally bright for some reason and haven't managed to change it with available options, and it seems much better in xebian. That and it's not a propper frontend. So... PC with bad interlacing support, Xebian with slowness, or XBMC with brightness and lack of options. Maybe i'll just stick with my freeview STB, plug it in and it's perfect first time :o( | ||
Revision as of 14:33, 31 January 2008
RE: VGA > RGB cables. Hey thanks for asking. I'm currently busy getting Xbox frontends to work so might be a couple weeks before i get back in to the cable stuff, I'm gonna be making another up to take pics for the guide and then I'll have two so you can have one of them for whatever it cost me + postage. I've gotta figure out a few things with them first though (try and get pin 16 powered somehow) and from the few tests i've done it seems it's still gonna be a load of work messing with modelines and (de)interlacing settings to get it looking alright (may end up having to wait for a 0.21 myth release, however long that'll take). Anyway, just give it a few weeks and i'll be back in touch, or just leave me another message onmy talk page. --Pepsi max2k 19:36, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Oh goody an xbox guru :oD.. in that case... do you happen to know if xebian (i guess 1.1.4 on a v1.2 connexant box) will work with a scart rgb cable, outputting propper RGBs signal? The only mentions of it I can find are telling me it's composite only, so it ain't looking good (if i wanted comp out i'd just use my pc :o( ). Anyway... as for the cable, they're not exactly gonna be the neatest things ever. I'm going for the nexus look: http://www.nexusuk.org/projects/vga2scart/ but will probably fall far short. infact my first one looks like someone tried to eat the vga shielding (probably because that's the one thing i *didnt* try doing with it...), got an audio cable taped to the side of it, and right now has no box at all for the scart end and my previous attempts at cutting plastic boxes to shaped haven't exactly gone amazingly well... so err... do you want me to try and box the scart in or could you do it yourself? And is a 3.5 audio jack good or would you prefer phono connections as i have a spare cable lying around?
oh forgot to say, i did try a couple progressive modelines which seemed to solve any flickering issues (at least on the desktop) but the image was far too big for the screen. i dunno if playing around with the modeline's sizing would fix it, at the time i couldn't really be bothered as wanted to get native interlaced stuff working, though have to say am using Bob on the xbox/xbmc which i think has some kinda progressive output at some point and it looks fine so i might try that on the pc later. --Pepsi max2k 12:00, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
