I just finished testing it on my Nvidia system. I get some strangeness on playback as the castle drops back into frame with DXVA2 on. It's not green but just totally messed up for a few frames. It happens on initial playback. If I rewind back to it, it doesn't happen again. With DXVA2 off, I do not see the issue at all.

We may need to ping a dev that is familiar with ffmpeg on this one.

Maybe so. But it plays fine without DXVA2, so someone who knows more should see it.

I didn't get a chance to create an ISO this evening but I should be able to tomorrow evening. I'm thinking it will probably be a lost cause though consider MKV and ISO are just containers and they will be holding the same video files - in this case I think MPEG4. I will still try it but it's not the files, it is an ffmpeg issue and the errors certainly support that. It seems ffmpeg is having difficulty with the reference frames, hopefully this will be resolved with later releases. I'm going to be sticking with Pixel Shaders for now until this is fixed. Hopefully a dev will see this thread, where can I post a bug issue for ffmpeg? Pixel shaders gives me the best performance, but still showing drops - although not really noticeable when watching.

We did have a report in another thread where a user had issues with .avi files and not .mkv files, even though the content was the same. So maybe there is a chance the container makes a difference.

I also have a green screen just for 1-2 seconds at the beginning of the playback - whatever file it is...
If DXVA2 is disabled no green screen at all. So no need to turn in on? I actually don't know what it really does.
Intel Core i5 2500K (3300) Quad Core, Asus Radeon HD6450, W764bit.

I only have it at the beginning. Just with the movie it is no problem for me, but now I use cinema experience with some trailers and DTS/Dolby intros, I have it on every file. (also the DTS/Dolby ones). So if I start with Cinema EX, all the intros and movie start with green screen for 1/2 seconds - no green or pixels during the movie at all.
