I did not try A/V sync, yet. What does it do exactly? For me, audio is
in sync with video, as far as I can tell.
IMHO jitter reduction reduces jerky background motion (camera sway). Do
I assume right?

I have 2 problems, I hope you can give me some advice on that:
1.
With the old NVidia driver, I could not watch car racing, because the
cars jumped. With the new driver, this jumping is gone. I think that's
because I set the Flicker Filter in the nvidia-settings tool to 1 (0
does not work correctly), where the default is 127 (out of 255).
But the motion of the cars still looks blurry.
2.
When I watch shows from NTSC land, that have been converted to PAL,
motion and panning is jerky.
I have big audio buffer on and also enabled jitter reduction. Without
that, background motion is always jerky (even for native PAL shows).
What else can I do? Will A/V sync and kerneldeint help eliminate blur
and jerky motion?
It's not a problem of the captures, because it looks perfect with the
PVR-350 TV-out, which I do not use regularely at the moment, because
it's not that stable.
Thanks!
Thomas
