[QUOTE="dedi, post: 619149, member: 101658"] Its just such a pain to get smooth playback. I played alot with codecs (on Win7 x64). MPC-HD has micro-stuttering, and one of the worst codecs. Sad it performs so bad as default MP Codec. fddshow is good most of the time, but has sometimes problems, dont know what causes it. PDVD10 performs best in my setup, a little better than PDVD9. MS Codec basically wasn't bad, but gave some problems, dont remember what, I'm currently using it with my clean RC3 install, but probably will use SAF5 soon again. The bad thing is there are other things disturbing smooth playback. So the graphic card and drivers. I switched from ATI to NVIDIA, because ATI has such poor drivers. Nvidia on the other hand isnt much better. With new drivers it just had problems with overscan (new just creates a strange new resolution) and switching between refresh rates, as it differs interlaced and noninterlaced in a strange way (and some other problems). So I'm using older ones, but here I'm missing p24 refresh rate, which I cant even create as custom resolution. Another thing is there is a difference between 720 with 50hz and directly set signal to 720p50. Completely illogical what makes the hole thing even harder. There is even more. It's suggested by MP Installation to activate Aero for Win7, but the "dwm.exe" that comes with it causes problems. Kill it via taskmanager (it just restarts then) resolves it temporary.
