    It should not be dropping so many frames cause my refresh rate is faster than the video refresh rate right?
    It's only for this one movie apparently.

    You need to turn on Dynamic refresh rate - having a refresh rate which isn't a multiple of the frame rate will cause drops and repeats. It'll look much better, trust me :) (and you'll be playing with MPAR before you know it, as the last few remaining ones will annoy you).

    I find that running at 60Hz no matter the source frame rate provides really good results, well except when it's just stupidly low like in this case. I still have to give Dynamic Refresh Rate a try though.

    I agree with David - if you can, you should use automatic refresh rate changing. This is the same advice I gave you last month! ;)

    I'm not sure if enabling automatic refresh rate changing will solve the 17 fps. Maybe it will if the video frame rate is 23.97 fps. Log files are always helpful.

    From a technical perspective that is not the optimal configuration. I guess your eyes aren't so sensitive to judder (repeated fields/frames).

    with 17fps i don't know how is watch the vidéo lol
    it's a bit like an internet stream with bad connection lol :ROFLMAO:
    ps. Maybe it will if the video frame rate is 23.97 fps
    yes, with dynamic framerate to 50hz (y) or 24hz if the TV support it

    No it won't, 17 FPS is just way too slow, encoding of that file was screwed somehow.

    post the MediaInfo for this file
    Shown 17fps is the speed how MP can decode and render it. Why - it can be many reasons, e.g. video decoder, audio renderer, etc.

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...
