Hi,
For some reason, if I enable "Auto-sync refresh rate to match video", 24fps mkv's (other formats might as well, have not tested it) stutter like crazy right from the start. It's like only 1 out of every 3 frames is displayed. I've tried messing with other playback settings such as the render method (software/shaders) and auto sync audio/video, but to no avail. It seems to be the "Auto-sync refresh rate to match video" setting that consistently causes this stuttering.
Here's the weird part, a workaround that I discovered by coincidence: While playing a movie and stuttering, if XBMC looses focus and then gets the focus again (for example if task manager is started and then closed immediately), everything becomes silky smooth again.
I'm running the latest stable version on Win7 32bit, using DXVA2.
GPU is a Radeon HD3850. One thing worth noting is that I'm currently running an old version of Catalyst because of some issues I was having with over/underscan in Catalyst 11.5. I have not yet checked to see if this issue is related to the Catalyst version I'm using, but I might do that soon.
Thought I'd ask here if anyone else has experienced this behaviour? Any solution perhaps? :confused2:
