[QUOTE="mironicus, post: 554516, member: 69593"] [b]AW: Automatic Refreshrate Changer[/b] I found out something interesting: If Mediaportal is changing the refresh rate and you'll press Shift+F1 while playing a video, the info on the display still shows the old refresh rate, even it was changed properly. (Windows 7) So if you just played a NTSC movie with 60 Hz, and after that you'll watch a PAL movie with 50 Hz and press Shift+F1, the EVR status still shows "60 Hz". So it's no wonder that video playback often tends to stutter within Mediaportal. Steps to find out: 1) Make sure the desktop is running with 59/60 Hz before you start Mediaportal. 2) Start Mediaportal. 3) Play a 25 fps-movie within Mediaportal. The display changes to 50 Hz. 4) Press Shift+F1 5) You'll see in the picture: "Display refresh rate from windows: 59 Hz". There is still the old refresh rate displayed, even it is "really" 50 Hz. So it's no wonder that videoplayback is stuttering within Mediaportal. [/QUOTE]
