ok
i never turn on adjust framerate neither hq resampling.
1.- dashboard: unleashx v0.37.1218a build 543
2.- xbmc build: any, for example i just downloaded a 22-01-05 one and still happening. (i even compiled my own releases some months ago and also happened)
3.- tv: i use two sony trinitron tv´s 4:3, both supports pal/ntsc/pal60 and they also can be setup to a 16:9 mode to get advantage of the extra resolution. but it skips the same in 4:3 than in 16:9
4. zoom: i´m not sure what are you referring about...the zoom you can setup in the options while you are playing a movie (in the same menu as brightness, etc...). anyway is at 1.0
5.- audio is just stereo. im not using the digital output.
my xbox is a 1.4 one, and is running an aladdin2 with xecuter 4983 bios. the reader is a thomson one, but also happens via network.
now, after reading your last post i´ve been making some test just to discard the problem is a network issue. so i´ve been testing several movies from the dvd drive and i´ve found something interesting. 25 fps movies with ac3 audio never skips, nor a single time. no matter how many times i use fast forward, or pause or i restart the movie, there is not stuttering. on the contrary movies using mp3 audio has stuttering in different levels. so maybe is a problem related with mp3 audio sync routine.
and i also retested that movies works fine in ntsc mode. i have a dvdscreener of the aviator (dvd ripped video, and audio recorded in a cinema). the original framerate of the avi is 25 fps and works without a single skip in xbmp from dvd and network.
if i play this avi in pal mode in xbmc = sttutering
if i launch xbmc in ntsc mode using unleashx "run in ntsc" option and play the same movie forced to ntsc there is not a single skip. (note that i dont use to use "run in..." for loading xbmc, and any special video mode option is disabled in unleashx"
i´ll upload a sample of this avi in the "end user upload" so you can give a try.
well, thats all. i think is a mp3 syncing related issue. thanks a lot for your time. i really apreciate you make the effort of answering posts like this.
regards

oh and i am playing files from a dvd burnt in standard iso9660 mode, but its the same from the hard drive so that is indeed not the issue.
edit: oh and i just saw about uploading, i will get to doing that tonight or tomorrow.

hmm perhaps, but many ntsc files encoded at either 23.97 or 29.97 are fine for me when using adjust framerate.

as i type this i am uploading a 21 mb rar with two divx files inside. they are opening sequences of two tv shows (monkey dust and fraggle rock). the file is called total_ass_samples.
(try not to laugh at them)
to help replicate my situation, delete the gamesave and start with pure fresh settings. run in pal-50 mode, off either dvd or hard drive.
in the monkey dust file, the stuttering is apparent when watching the screen move horizontally, near the start and near the end of the clip.. however the stuttering is random each time it is played so i can't give specific timings of when and where.
same goes for fraggle rock, watch closely and you will see.
thanks

ok after leaving it a while it went to end_user_upload page and i got an error. so i'm not sure but i think it finished uploading, so someone with access needs to check and post here so i will know whether to try again.

i originally thought it was due to ntsc and pal incompatibilities. but i have watched many many files that are pal 25fps and i still receive stuttering, regardless, so i no longer believe this is the cause.
i think that xbmc may just generally have issues with pal.
let me rephrase that
i think that my xbmc may just generally have issues with pal. :lol:
edit: that's pal output, not pal files.
