Hi,
I watch a lot of video using MC22 for Mac. I've noticed for some time that the playback isn't super smooth. I see tiny jerks and stops. Shutters. I've demoed a couple of other players, XMBC, and Plex, and XBMC in particular seems much more smooth and fluid without any stutters.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not bringing up other players to point fingers, or be demanding or anything. I'm just illustrating that another player looks different in a positive way.
What I see doesn't seem to be like the old "judder" we would see with bad 3:2 pull down. It's more like very quick pauses. Very, very quick. You probably know what I'm describing.
I've just done a few experiments with Video Clock on and off and "Display settings automatic change mode" on and off. Automatic change mode seems to make things worse, but I didn't do rigorous long experiments, so I could be wrong.
Any ideas on why I'm seeing this? If it's configuration, I'm very happy to change it. If it's a features (or lack thereof), I'd definitely like to know.
For the record, my display is the built in LCD, which probably runs at 60 Hz; I'm not sure how to be sure about that, and all of my research indicates that these displays have a fixed refresh rate.
Thanks for reading.
Brian.
