I couldn't get the SmartGart panel to show up when clicking on the
icon (or on the exe file itself), even after doing a Repair from the
Add/Remove Software Control Panel. I do get a number of extra ATI tabs
on the Display Properies dialog Settings -> Advanced tab, but nothing
that mentions Fast Writes. Thanks.

Not sure but I'll go and find out.

The instruction for Fast Writes was meant for Flasherly, not you. Fast
Writes can affect video performance, but it shouldn't cause the "jelly
beans" artifacting you are seeing.

CoreAVC codecs are used only for H.264 or x264 format videos, sometimes
distributed in an MKV "container" format. Again, using old AVC codecs
shouldn't cause gross artifacting, just slower performance.

For you, the 9800 Pro has two monitor ports. Have you tried the other one?

Having a look at CoreAVC, and for a .5M filter - coreavc1650 scanning
clean off a file server, and still getting some judder with CoreAVC at
720p. A64/3Ghz/8500 - haven't tried it on the 9800/Duron 2.4Ghz.
Both large HDTV flatpannels. No hitch registering it to GOM Player
(1st choice, though I've also 5 or 6 other players). I've got
SmartGART, thankfully - included with OMEGA OEM drivers, no longer
ATI, for 1368x768 native support. Not sure if I can set the
appropriate Fast Writes, will have check the BIOS next time --
SmartGART "grayed in" Fast Writes. May be a hang-up, or not. That's
as far as I can get for now.

Sure are a lot of hoops to jump through. Not usually my style (had it
these days with the milti-meg CODEC installs, like ACE), but this
looks to be the bone-of-bone to pick for a non-game imposition from
BluRay 60 <> 24 frames. Nice reference stuff for getting the best of
the best to test against (I can live with a little judder, though -
and sound is OK, not bad considering it's an 8500 Radeon, ancient as
the hills).

Hey, guy. . .least to mention, thank you, sir, for the clues.
