The recompiled ffmpeg libs did not do anything for me. Still jerky when film is panning.

Are there some like reference pans we can use as test samples so that we're all working from a common baseline? Anyone know any good clips?

I have pole to pole and don't really see it at all (only when the birds are flying!).
But i am on Linux so maybe things behave differently.

The ideal pans are in Episode 2 from Planet Earth (Mountains). There's the climber at the beginning which is a slow pan and then an even longer one with the pool of sulfuric acid. I'm gonna try the new DLLs and report back.

ashlar: I just tried it (on Linux) and those scenes are fine. The fps fluctuates only between 23.88 and 24.05 (+- a few).
But it looked fine to me.

could someone make some little snippets and post them on rapidshare or somewhere so I can try this out on my rigs? I have planet earth on hd-dvd but unfortunately its in storage at the moment so I can't test.

It's my TV. It is at 60 I believe.

Still the same issue with the updated .dlls. It *might* be very slightly better, but its still off.
The mountains episode of planet earth is a decent test - about 3-4 minutes in, theres a few long pans. Youll want to focus on the far mountains in the background which are moving quicker, not the ones in the foreground. I'd suspect some people would have a difficult time seeing it even on my setup since its very small and quick fluctuations.

I'm having the same problem and seem to be able to consistently fix it. First, here are my specs: Dual core 2200 w/ 2 gigs ram and an Nvidia 8600 HDMI card. Btw, beta 2 is so much smoother than beta 1 and I can now play all of my 1080p movies perfectly with no sync issues. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now for the problem. It doesn't really matter if its 720p or 1080p, it happens on almost all of them. First, I play a movie and bring up the info screen. The frame rates fluctuate from 11-13 fps, hence the jittery playback. CPU usage under dual core is anywhere from 50% up to 75/80 depending on the format.
If I press the back button (or whichever button returns to the menu while the video is still playing) and then press play again on the movie, the fps jumps to 24 and dual CPU drops to 20% or less. This seems to work every time the problem occurs, just make sure the video is still playing when you return to the thumbnails menu--then play it again. I can usually resume or start from the beginning, either fixes it.
Can anyone else confirm this?
EDIT: The new ffmpeg dlls fixed the problem for me.
