Video playback issues - kempy1000 - 2014-02-03
Hello,
Im sure this has been fixed before but due to my inability to describe it Im struggling to find a solution.
On my xbmc setup when I play videos recently anything in an MKV h264 source seems to have an issue.
(Mostly 1080p at ~5000Kps some are however 720p at again ~5000Kps)
The bottom 1/3 of the video seems to detach from the top 2/3 like its lagged behind or something. A line appears (not always straight) and the top 2/3 carries on but the bottom 1/3 seems to stay maybe a few frames behind.
Can anyone point me towards what this maybe called?
System is an Asrock ION330HT
- Intel Atom 330
- Nvidia ION with 4gb RAM (512mb allocated to video)
Thanks

It sounds like screen tearing because vsync is disabled.
This happens because the new frames are presented to the screen before it has finished drawing the last one.
