[QUOTE="wiyosaya, post: 1219411, member: 145864"] Thanks for your help!:D The condition in the screenshot only happens for the first few seconds. After that, the video clears up. As you mention, the AMD driver may have been uninstalled when I reinstalled the drivers. I'll check that. I usually download the smallest package, and as such, the package I downloaded may not have included the H.264 driver. I note that it is still listed as a selection in MP Config. I did a "clean install" with the drivers, so I would assume that after it was uninstalled and no longer available on the system it would not have been listed in MP Config. In addition, there is one ATSC OTA channel I receive where the video stutters badly with the LAV decoders. It looks like it is displaying every other frame, but it is so bad that the effect is visible in MP. Literally, the rendering goes from video for a second or so to a blank frame for the next second or so and continues to repeat this pattern as long as I am tuned to that channel. Perhaps this is also a case where deinterlacing also has a problem or is not configured correctly. Since it happens only on this one channel, I assume that it is because of what they have done to the video before they transmit. I do receive several other ATSC OTA channels that were rendered properly with LAV but, I switched to the AMD decoder for TV, and that channel, as well as all the others, is rendered perfectly with the AMD decoder and without adjusting settings. From my perspective, the AMD decoders perform better than LAV. I started at MP 1.9. I must have missed something somewhere along the lines, or perhaps installation instructions or something else are not consistent with the current state of the code or I misinterpreted the instructions for BR support. BR support was one of the reasons I chose MP, and after carefully reading MP documentation, I got the impression when installing MP 1.9 that the BD Handler plug-in was built-in and required for BR playback. So perhaps that is where the confusion is in that there is an internal BD Handler that is referred to as BD Handler as well as a plug-in named BD Handler? I don't know what happened, but I am not usually that easily confused. (I am a dev in my life outside of when I am using MP. :confused: ) If there is a separate BD Handler plug-in that is no longer required, IMHO, it should be disabled or removed from the plug-ins library (for any version after the version where it was no longer required) so that people like me do not become confused as to what is required for BR support. :notworthy: I get what you are saying, and I agree with the decision to go this route. Having a generic layer between the software and the hardware is akin to Nirvana for a dev. :LOL: However, I will likely go back to the AMD decoder. The APU that I have has hardware decoding for H.264 video, and AMD, in theory anyway ;), knows their hardware the best. If I experience trouble in the future, I will switch to LAV to ensure that it happens with LAV also before posting anything. Is the log I posted for Avatar sufficient, or would you prefer I post to thread you linked with a MP Watchdog log? I do want to mention that I tried a BR disc with a menuing system that does not play properly even on a dedicated player and the menu worked perfectly in MP.
