OK... after trying to fix this for about 6 months, I now accept defeat and ask for help.

Below I have outlined the things I have done/tried/tested etc... any and all suggestions would be gratefully accepted...

Thanks - I thought that was probably the case. EDIT: Quick update: CoreAVC 2 with ffdshow for audio works really well on my system. Thanks revs :) It seems to suffer from a bit of pixellation for the first few seconds of playback (almost looks like it's bits of the previous buffer overlayed), but once it settles down it's really...

MP1 MP2 Videos not scaling DE
Ok, this is weird. I considered the possibility that it's me doing something wrong in handbrake as I've just switched to that from DivX author. Everything that's 4:3 displays fine. Everything that I've encoded with either program that's widescreen has black bars at both sides and top/bottom. Some things encoded by other people play...

Any news on that? I have the same issue. Video is 50 fps and the TVs refresh rate is 50Hz.... The videos played nicely in MePo on Windows XPm but after moving to Windows 7 I have this silly stuttering. What I found is, that MePo uses the codec selected for MPEG2 although it should use the one for H.264, shouldn't it?

Ok, so I got hold of Graphstudio (and after realising you need to register proppage.dll to make it work remotely on Win 7) I started looking at why MP is different to MPC.

Answering my own question. This is clear indication that integrated HD4200 video card doesn't have enough power to handle 1080i content. I was confused by the fact that WMP can render the same file fine, but it seems that MP uses some additional processing and therefore can't work smoothly on integrated video card. I bought Radeon...

AW: Definitive DTS-MA/DTHD HD Audio in MP thread... Let's do it! The issue seems to be known, I found a bugtracker topic on SourceForge.net: ffdshow: Detail: 3028871 - Plays DTS-MA instead of regular DTS when SPDIF is being used. Unfortunately the issue is still open since July 2010 :( P.S. M2TS is also not working.

Yeah, I've set up ffdshow to auto-switch profiles based on the audio codec being used (e.g. DTS switches to a profile where I've set a delay of 170ms). Works pretty well, but it would be nice to also have a slider within MP, just like XBMC has. I guess that's difficult to do since you 'oursource' the decoding to other apps like ffdshow.

Its not just playing the files but also sending the correct information to the TV over HDMI 1.4. Half resolution side by side or top and bottom is the best compromise at the moment, as it bypasses any issues and works the same as normal video. Of course the 1920x540 or 960x1080 final resolution is not that great. Checkerboard gives...
