The thing is, I downclocked it to 1.6ghz from 2.4ghz, so I can run it silent.
I get frame drops at 2.4ghz and it is downright unplayable at 1.6ghz.
MPC-HC, however, plays 10bit 1080p without dropping a single frame at 1.6ghz.
I also noticed that my CPU usage never hits 100% either.
Of course, my overpowered Core i5 laptop, and Core i7 desktop PC plays it just fine in XBMC.
But still, the Q6600 should be powerful enough to play 2 Hi10p clips at the same time without skipping a beat if I used MPC-HC.
From reading the past 10 pages or so, I'm guessing it is because XBMC disables multithreading?
Does anyone have a multithreaded patched prebuilt version of the final XBMC Frodo v12 uploaded somewhere?
I don't know if multithreading is the only thing needed, in MPC-HC I have zero framedrops on my E350, which is an extremely low-end CPU with an integrated adequate GPU. I tried a build from for windows from this thread, but I still had framedrops with those exact same files that have no framedrops in MPC-HC in combination with the lav filters. Multiple people, even devs state that you need a lot of oomph in your PC, but I don't get it. Why can MPC-HC play my 10bit files without issues?
