I'll try to be very clear about my setup...
All of my movies are in 23,976 format (mkv and bluray folder rips): I tried to play them with Ati 23hz (23.977, more or less) setting and bitstreaming, both with mpc-hc+reclock and xbmc sync to playback...failing to achieve 0 frame drops (but I got no audio drops at all). Maybe my rig is not stable enough, anyway...
So I tried with a more stable refresh: 24hz (24.000 fps): this way I can bitstream dts-hd, dts, ac3 and truehd (at least with DanielaE's build and first DDDamian one) with sync playback to video, drop/dupe audio, without a single audio or video drop.
Right, no audio glitches or dropouts. In the advancedsettings.xml I forced the refresh rate for 23,976 movies to switch to exactly 24hz.
I already excluded AVR from the chain (htpc---> TV directly) with same results. My tv is able to do 24p (I alredy tried with a blu-ray player with 24p output).
With reclock and lavfilters I have exactly the same results as for latest DDDamian builds: DTS-HD, AC3 and DTS are perfectly bitstreamed (@24hz) with no video frame drops (0 in an entire movie) and no audio glitches; TrueHD drops every 40 second (exactly during resyncing audio to video).
So I'm using the first eden beta3 DDDamian build cause, for my rig, is perfect also for TrueHD, except for sync issue easily corrected by adjusting audio offset at movie start.
Maybe is a weird setup, but I got the clue to set refresh to 24hz from other forums. Early on I had a totally different system with a geforce 430...I got exactly same results described before. The magic option was to set the refresh to exactly 24hz (24.000) and bitstreaming dropping/duping audio.
Sorry for the long post, but my trials went on for two months before finding the right settings!
