Still can't get smooth DVD playback (DVD content in MKV container) on one of my systems. It is a Lenovo laptop with an i5 and integrated Intel graphics hooked to the TV through HDMI. Play back directly on the built in screen shows exact same results.
Using RO standard. The smooth video playback and use hardware acceleration options make no difference in playback.
Direct show filters shows it is using the Enhanced Video Render for playback. Pulling up properties it shows no frames dropped with average frame rate running at 47.7x (runs at 47.9xx on other machines) CPU is sitting at 3-5% usage and not over 10% at peaks. Video is very choppy and audio drifts out of sync.
Playing back 1080p content works perfectly fine, only the MPEG2 DVD stuff is not right.
Previously was struggling with this, and completely uninstalling/reinstalling MC seemed to fix it temporarily but it came right back.
