Hello to all of you.

Since MP 1.1 and RC I've been suffering big problems with stutter in both HDTV and SD TV tha prevented me from mouving from MP1.0.2. But after lot of testing I've found that something is wrong with Minidisplay.dll. With it enabled I have stutter with it disabled TV is almost perfect in SD and HD.

Those having problems with stutter can please try disabling Minidisplay in Progress Plugins and test?

I'm using Scaleo EV Display type and the problem is not on MP 1.0.2. or not noticeable

Thanks to all

Attached logs (MDAPI enabled but I think not related)

HI,
thanks for the info, I just tested that on my system (VFD in my Hiper case is the same as in MSI live or your Scaleo)
... it's amazing ...
for weeks I tested all codecs, dshowhelper, drivers, CCC setup or whatever to minimize dropped frames even in SD, now with diabling the Minidisplay it's much better,
see attached screenshots

• Minidisplay enabled : 14 dropped peek in red/gren line
• Minidisplay disabled : 1 dropped frame, smooth lines

I checked the latency with the DPC Latency Checker ---> no difference

Dear developers : could you please check the driver for DM-140GINK Display ? if you need any tests / checks, please let me know.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is this MiniDisplay plugin? Is it there by default?
