Full Version: [SOLVED] trouble with 16:9

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with DTS in combination with 16:9.
When playing a DTS 16:9 movie it will not run smooth and I will see some pixel kinda stuff on the screen.

I'm using the mobo ASrock E350M1/USB3. I've had some issues already because it has an AMD Radeon HD6310 onboard.
I'm using the xvba acceleration to get videos played smooth.
Every movie does except the DTS with 16:9.
I've tested movies with dolby digital and they work fine. DTS with 2.35 works fine as well so I don't really know why 16:9 doesn't.

How do I fix this issue so I can watch all my movies?

Thanks in advance
Update;

Still having this issue but it has changed a little..
I was wrong with the DTS 16:9 combination. The problem is only the 16:9 ratio.

It seems to be the combination of 1080p and 16:9 ratio.
The screen starts shocking and I'm not able to watch the movie properly.

Does someone has advice for me to try?
plz post a media info of this file and a debug log

Use the Mediainfo tool to display detailed information about the video file(s) in question. If you're using Ubuntu, it's also available via Synaptic Package Manager.
Debug log as said above.

No one?

The problem is no (longer) with 16:9.
The problem now appears with every 1080p movie.
Does anyone has a suggestion to try? It is really annoying me!

Movies I've seen before without problems don't play good anymore.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and fully updated.
XVBA version of XBMC by wsnipex.

Any help is appreciated! thnx.

Debug Log; startup, start xbmc, start 1080p movie, stop the movie

Image is shocking, not playing smooth
Problem is solved with much help from wsnipex. Thanks a lot!

Solution
Bug in audio engine. Disable ' sync playback to display' in system settings -> video -> playback
wsnipex noticed; "you can try to reenable the sync playback to display option with method resample"

Not needed in my situation.
you are hit by http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/13281

workaround: disable "sync playback to display"
