I've tested only briefly with a handful of files using SW decoding and PS renderer only, will test more in the next couple of days using different streams/files/decoding/rendering. So far, it looks like this is fixed, though.

Oops, completely forgot that...
For me, there's no difference in sync delay anymore, regardless whether using SW or DXVA decoding with PS, DXVA or DXVA-HD rendering, respectively. I don't think I ever tested using software rendering, though.

All specific tests at 24p using Helix (14.0/14.1/14.2). Delay needed with my setup is around 170ms for all frame rates (the difference between frame rates is negligible now).

So I can confirm that - at least for me - the issue is fixed.

This is with Win7 / Intel HD4600, True full screen, "Sync playback to display" enabled with method "Video clock (resample audio)".

There still is an issue with a/v sync, though, when the "missed vsync" counter keeps counting up, which unfortunately happens a lot with Helix. The only way I found to stop this is pausing playback for a couple of seconds, then resuming (sometimes several times in a row). So all of you who still have this issue, press "O" during playback and watch the "missed" counter in the last row. If it keeps counting up, pause/unpause playback until the counter stops.
