I'll give it a try today after work on my i7-2600k sandybridge setup and write the results here.

Still hoping for someone to test it in the next couple of hours, that would be just in time for me to cancel my i3 order...

Tested your dll today, still the same issue.
Did the testing on my i7-2600k running Windows 7 64bit.
Placed the avcodec-52.dll file in C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\system\players\dvdplayer\ where it seems to be the only file with avcodec-52.dll as filename.
Is the avcodec.dll to be used anywhere?

Yeah, I heard from others the same thing. It was the most obvious thing that could have caused the problem, too bad it's not that. I'll try to fix up a new dll, today or tomorrow, with another idea. If that doesn't work either, I'm going to give up, since it's too inconvenient to fix it without having an Intel chipset myself.

just tried your new modified files - still the same issue im afraid.
Did some testing with the same movie and original vs your modified avcodec-52.dll and it seems to be precise same issues.
macroblocking all over, and if the camera clips to a completely new area the picture will be okay for 1 sec, and then start with all the macroblocking again.
When trying to skip in the video it gives me same issue as when a new scene/clip starts.
and this was same issue for both original + your dll.

Hmmm that looks good indeed. That's very interesting. There are more differences between the MPC-HC H264 ffmpeg code and the XBMC code than I have patched. I'd need a SB though to mess around ...
Hopefully someone *with* Sandybridge can use MPC-HC as a basis for the solution ...

I will (hopefully) soon get my new i3-2105 htpc and planned to try and fix this issue (since it works in mpc-hc it should be solvable).
thespecialist Would it be possible to get patches, or revisions from mpc-hc, of the things you've already tried so I don't need to test the same things again?
