Wow! I expected it to take a couple of years to get somewhere, not a couple of hours!
I tested Killa sampla and two less extreme 1-minute HD clips (1080p 5.1 8 refframes ~10Mbps), and the blocking defects are gone on all of them! One of my clips runs perfectly, the other one I think also does but possibly doesn't have perfect A/V sync (using drop/dupe audio; I'll have to test some more to be sure). The Killa sampla runs perfectly except that at ~7secs the screen goes black for about 1/10 sec if I have enabled A/V sync (no matter which sync method) but this defect isn't present if I don't enable sync (i e disable both "adj disp refresh rate" and "sync playback to disp"). CPU usage then ~20%. On E-350 board.
Had to use Ctrl-Alt-F2 to be able to enter commands since windows go dead when lightdm is stopped, and "sed" command just produced an error (something like "command 'U' unknown) so I edited the file with text editor. Will test more later.
Congratulations, BTW!
