The video playback of ALOT of my video files is at best shakey. It freezes often, at different places in the same file at different times, freezes on different files. This has been over most builds of MJ.
For me this bug being fixed is one of the most important issues as my video files are all music video's and I LOVE the fact that I can have them in with my music collection but with the stability that MJ is at current providing for the playback of these files it really doesn't work too well .

Alot of them are .m2v files.

Hmm....funny I'm not the only one who thinks that MJ's video playback is pretty poor.....

Nila, what kind of video card to you have?

I have a ATI Radeon and most m2v (MPEG2) file I play, using other software then ATI's fileplayer, seems to have breaks, sound dropouts and other not so funny errors....

Plays back fine using ATI's player, but the ATI "Media Library" just plain sucks.

Anyway, MJ video playback is worth nothing before it has better aspect support (like 480x576)...

BTW : Other video players, plays the same m2v videos just as poor as MJ... (but programs like "Zoom Player" have the best aspect support I have ever seen)

What is the source of the files?

I have not seen this problem, but I've also not seen any m2v files.

Do you know you can change the resolution?

Right click on the display screen/Display Mode/Full Screen.

Well I do know how to play something full screen, but if it's a file with the size 480x576 I get big black borders to the left and right....

Now Zoom Player and ATI's File Player would just "resize" it so the picture would fill the whole screen, that's what I'm talking about when I say aspect ratio...

I use PowerDVD to play these files and it gives perfect, crystal clear playback. No jumps, glitches or anything.

JimH - These files are ones I get from the internet. I'm a dancer so I download these files as they are music video's and I can use this to watch their dance routines and learn some of them or get moves from them.

I could send you or Matt a couple if you needed them. They're not the kind of file you'd buy in a shop or something, more equivalent to a home recording of a tv show in terms of legality.

Also, any chance of having zoom controls added to the player window when it's full size? Or at least to the right click menu as a top level item. It's quite an important feature for a video player.
