Dedicated decoder cards with extre video outputs dont have this problem. They can synchronize to the video clock. So absolutely smooth playback can be garanted. |
To me it looks like the video card would do the actual drawing, so the HW decoder wouldn't be able to help with the smoother playback. Remember that todays HW is using VMR9 and no hardware overlay is possible.
