Dual core performance ?

[Darkmeteor]

I have exactly the same glitches since a couple of releases, green pixels and broken VHS style on the backglass on some tables.

As for performances, I'm trying XP right now and it's the same as seven, very high CPU utilization and random crash after switching some tables. The error came from lavvideo.ax

I cant do much about the performance for now. Lavvideo.ax is the external Lav codec. Not much I can do about that either. Its the codec that is crashing. You probably have a bad video somewhere.

As for the glitches please try the attached and let me know if any better.

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll give that a try tonight. And don't worry, the decision to buy a new monitor is based on my realising how rubbish a 10 year old fluorescent tube lit VA panel looks compared with my new LED lit IPS Dells, and the widescreen being a better fit for the backbox in a 3 screen cab.

Well, some good news I got hardware acceleration working for backglass and DMD videos. Bad news is Ive only tested it in a virtual machine. I don't have a second monitor connected right now. It worked fine in the VM. Please try the attached.

Cheers.

Much better! Menu even got faster again

On my first load, it loads Amazon Hunt. As the video zooms in there was always a bit of choppiness , nothing to get worried about, but that's more or less gone now.

It works great on my dual core too ! No video stutter, no crash, no glitch on the backglass !

1.19 just released with the changes.

1.20 working very nicely now, thanks.
