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...

Same problem here as well It´s still in MP. It´s been there now for over half a year now :S And I don´t have any idea what i have to do, and how, to make this work (in my case for 1080p h264) with PDVD8 codec.

No problem I know it doesnt make much sense, as optical(even coax) has plenty of bandwith to handle the extra channels. The problem is the SPDIF standard. It only supports 6.1. :growl: Just another forced upgrade, we should be use to that by now :P

Continuing from the topic I started a while ago, I gave my system a little boost by performing some minor upgrades. Altough I loved Matrox, I had to give up my Matrox P650 (a cut down version of the Parhelia) for an NVIDIA 6800GT mainly due to the lack of DirectX 9 support, a bug in TV-OUT and also just wanted a general upgrade...

Try changing the file extension to .mp4. I seem to remember I had a similar problem. I think .mp4 might use a different decoder.

Any news about this? I hope this issue will be fixed in the other skins as well... The ffdshow workaround works quite well, though.

Hi Jay, Just to clarify. The stutter I see is not constant. I get it if I jump forward (to skip ads or whatever). The program jumps ok then after playing for a few seconds there is a slight glitch in the playback, after that everything is fine... I only see this on HD content. I didn't get this when I was using an earlier version of...

Did some testing again and frankly speaking, I hardly hear any difference between DSD vs PCM. Must have been the receiver's listening modes interfering back then. Or smoked too much. I shouldn't be able to hear it at 42, but DSD seems slightly more crisp/dynamic but that's it. I hooked up a pair of JMlab speakers for this purpose, in...

Yes I too have found that when using MPC-HC as my default player.

Hi guys Thanks for this thread. I've now managed to "correct" my AV audio delay problem as well using the slider. Is there anyway of having the selection permanently held in the database, so I find the position and it gets saved for next time I play the movie. That would be a great feature Cheers

PCM is decoded/decompressed 'raw' digitised audio, so it's actually the best quality format (along with lossless compressed formats like FLAC). (PCM = Pulse Code Modulation, the technical name for the standard method of digitising audio).
