And yes, judder is the number one grievance I have with a PC, no matter how much fine-tuning of refresh rates and using (or not using) Reclock I am unable to eliminate them completely .. and it's nothing whatsoever to do with CPU power, the only thing left is AGP latency and if one has to get down to that level I for one have had enough.
My last remaining option that I'm considering is an SDI-ed X-Card into an external scaler. Keep the convenience of playing rips and using AnyDVD to bypass PUOs and lose all the pratting about with software.

I use FFDSHOW to scale to 1920x1080, then let the graphics card down-scale to native 1280x720 .. I like the slightly less 'edgy' image this gives me over scaling directly to 1280x720.Tim Cooper said:What scaling & resolution are you using?

For PAL I use 50hz (tried 75, saw no difference), for NTSC I use 59.939 (nearest I can get to 59.94) or 48hz if Reclock tells me it's a 24fps movie.
