I am interested others experience of playback quality of 24p media.

I have noticed that the codec used for h264 decoding seems to have a big impact on the 'smoothness' of playback.
I have an overclocked Core2Duo, 4GB ram, nVidia GT520, Win7 Pro running off SSD drives, hooked up to an LG 47LE8900 LCD via HDMI.

I have SAF6 installed at the moment, but have found that I get better playback using the Microsoft DVD/DTV codec, I have tried the pdvd11 and ffdshow codecs and while they decode fine and don't seem to drop frames, it is hard to explain the effect, but it's almost as though the picture isn't as 'solid' when there's motion, as though there's 2 frames overlaid.

I've been happy with the picture quality using any of these codecs, but the Microsoft one definitely seems to resolve motion better.

Has anyones else come across this problem and found out what causes it?

I use SAF 5 with my radeon HD 5450 on a core quad setup with 4gigs of ram and win 7 pro. 24p works perfect for me.

    I use standard MS codecs on my Zotac clients. To get 24 fps playback perfectly smooth, I enable the dynamic refresh rate to switch between 24 and 50 hz.
