I shoot some home video on my Nikon D5100. These are h.264/MPEG-4 AVC in a .mov container.

I can play these fine in Wind Media Player, but in xmbc, the sound and picture are wildly out of sync. The pic is very juddery.

Is the format supported (it appears to be)? Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance for help

not sure but interlaced video may not be hardware accelerated so may judder?

Posting the mediainfo on pastebin then linking back will help diagnose... possibly and posting a debug log on pastebin is a good course of action.

Ps: welcome to the forums!

The format is supported. You could start by telling us anything about your setup. What OS are you on? What version of XBMC? What are the specs of your computer?

Sorry, Im fairly new to this... thanks for quick responses.

Its a WIN7 machine and I have the latest stable xmbc version (downloaded last week)

Im at work at mo and not entirely sure of exact machine spec. A friend of mine built it for me. I was using Win Media Centre but hated it. XBMC is brilliant so far, I have all my music, TV shows and films in the library

Its just these home movies, the files do struggle to play on an old laptop (prob not powerful enough?) but they play fine in WMP on the same HTPC that I have xmbc installed.

If you need more info to help, tell me exactly what you need and Ill post it when I can.

Thanks again

Please can anyone help?

Get the mediainfo of the file
(see my sig)


and provided a debug log

[jhsrennie]

and provide a debug log
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Log_file

Enable debug logging from System settings, System, Debugging, then close XBMC and start it again. Wait a minute or two for all the startup tasks to finish. Play a sample video, wait for it to start juddering then stop it and close XBMC.

Open the debug log by pressing Windows-R and in the Run dialog type:

"%appdata%\xbmc\xbmc.log"

(including the quotes). Click OK and the log should open in Notepad. Copy and paste the log into http://pastebin.com/ and post the link it gives you here.

I'd guess it was a problem with the audio. It's not unknown for audio problems to cause video judder as well. XBMC is seeing the audio as:

INFO: ffmpeg[F48]: Stream #0.1(eng): Audio: pcm_s16le, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 1536 kb/s

The video looks like standard h264. I'm afriad I don't know the audio code well enough to comment further.

[bonei1973]

Thanks. The audio actually plays ok it's just the video that judders and lags the sound.

Is there anyone able to help further? All media info and debug log on page 1 of thread.
