Codecs LAV .48 black flickering (2 Viewers)

[scythe000]

ok, just switched from SAF as i was having sound issues after a system swap. I'm loving the simplicity of LAV!
However, I'm having a problem that my screen flickers black occasionally with videos using the ac1 codec. I'm using th latest version, .48, mp 1.2.2. AFAIK, latest everything. I also tried using different video drivers. It's got to be a MePo issue, as the same files work fine in VLC and even WMP. Any thoughts?

ATI GPU? Try only software decoding mode from LAV.

VLC and WMP normally use their own decoders (i.e. not LAV).

Nvidia Geforce 9200 on an nForce 8200 board. Acer Aspire x1301. I swapped out my Zotac id41. That thing just couldn't cut it. I'll switch to software only, thanks Tourettes. We'll see if it helps.

Dang, seems to not have helped!

Ok, I was worried it was the card overheating, as it's an integrated card, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Starting Immortals, a large (10.3gb) file at 1920x1036 video using the avc1 codec, i can recreate the screen going black regularly, but the cpu temperature stayed between 60-63c and cpu spiked at 82%. Any ideas?

DO you have a "fake SLI" option in bios ? If yes, disabled it.

 

[scythe000]

Just looked. Nothing like that there. There is a hybrid SLI option which is disabled. iGPU frame buffer control is set to auto and Spread Spectrum is enabled.

Try setting the iGPU frame buffer to manual & set it to the max (512MB).

You've said ac1 & avc1, do you mean VC1? Have you done a shift 1 to see exactly which codec is in use? You might need to use the W7 filter tweaker to make sure LAV is the preferred decoder.

I made the iGPU change - no difference. I did shift 1 and it says MS DTV-DVD. Where can i get the filter tweaker?
