I have recently built a HTPC (details below) in which I’m using the on board Intel 4600 graphics. All my blu rays are folder rips (AnyDVD) , the majority of which play perfectly OK. However, all the VC1 format movies are unwatchable with severe blocking and flashing artefacts. I’ve tried various different video and audio settings and have been through various video trouble shooting guides like Thead 1 above (e.g. reducing the audio to stereo has no beneficial effect).
The cpu is not being overworked (10-15%) when playing VC1 BRs. Also, they play OK when fed to TMT6 which I downloaded on trial. I don't want to down the external player route or add a graphic card if poss. Anyone else have similar problems? Any advice on a fix greatly appreciated.
System:
Intel Core i5-4670T(2.30GHz) HD4600 graphics
ASRock Z87E-ITX motherboard
8Gb RAM
Windows 8.1
XBMC 12.2 Frodo (now XBMC Gotham – latest monthly)
HTPC is linked to a Meridian 621 which then goes through a Lumagen scaler to one of my displays, a Pioneer KRL37v TV. Linking the HTPC directly to the display makes no difference.
