Full Version: Lots of Color Banding in some Bluray to MKV rips
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Not sure what is going on, but I ripped some Bluray's I own using MakeMKV and DVDFab. Main movie, HD audio, and subtitles.
When playing these back in XBMC some of the files are getting tons of, what I guess I'd call, color banding.
The same files play without issue in VLC and other players.
Also, I've tested the files on multiple Windows PC's installed with XBMC and the same thing happens on each.

The two files that this is occurring on right now is WALLE and Ratatouille. Spider-Man 3 doesn't exhibit any of this behavior.
I've tried changing various settings (like deinterlacing which I had to switch to Off instead of Auto because it didn't seem to detect correctly with a Monsters, Inc DVD rip, yet another problem) but nothing changes.

Any idea what might be going on?

Try turning off hardware acceleration and change rendering to software i had same problem that fixed it.
Yea, I feel stupid now. I thought I tested with DXVA2 off to check, but I guess I didn't. Once I did the problem went away.
Of course that causes CPU usage to go up by from about 1-2% to as much as 20%
Anything I should do/check to get DXVA2 working?

Right now I'm testing it on a Intel i5-2500k.
thats a bug in the intel drivers.
