a video with 30fps (on a 60hz tv) plays buttery smooth in vlc but lags and jitters something dreafull in xbmc
was there ever any solution found?
The only solution I found was to use an external media player. I run on windows and I've found that configuration XBMC to use Media Player Classic Home Cinema ("MPC-HC") will work ifyou configure MPC-HC to use the power-dvd video codec, which takes full advantage of the Nvidia ION's ability to do hardware decoding and de-interlacing.
A key root cause of these problems is that NTSC / ATSC can use multiple interlacing techniques (simple even/odd interlacing; telecined; random "non-standard" variations on the usual Telecine pattern.
I am headed back to mythtv from my frontend. The XBMC frontend is a much more aesthetically pleasing interface, but the folks in mythtv land sorted all these issues out years ago. After a year on XBMC as my frontend, I find that the improved aesthetics are not worth the pain caused by a lack of proper support for deinterlacing & closed caption decoding.
