Having built and set the HTPC successfully, I was watching my £2 HD DVD of Apollo 13 last night, using the LG HD DVD/BD combo drive and Power DVD version that came with it (7.x I think). Using Win7 as the OS.
It passes 5.1 sound through to the amp no problem and the picture quality is excellent with no stutter, however there is a lip sync problem which gets worse as time goes by. After an hour the sound/audio was out by over a second.
Pausing/restarting had no effect.
I've tried all the combinations of renderer/audio/video in MP and find that AC3 Filter and ffdshow are the best.
I've tried altering some of the settings in ffdshow (Quality - which I think allows it to drop frames) to no effect.
I'm beginning to think it's PowerDVD, but wanted some advice/comment before I spend £75 on AnyDVD.
Any software must play HD DVD and BD movies, so this rules out PowerDVD 9.
Anyone else facing similar problems or can offer some advice?
Thanks
