I’m having issues watching some of my high bit rate mkv’s on XBMC. These are all 1080p and 22-25MBPS – essentially m2ts extracted and remixed (not re-encoded). In fact mkv vs m2ts makes no differed, mkv is just a little smaller.
The issues I notice are:
micro stutter (info from pressing o shows dropped frames to) This, is quite noticeable on pans.
Subtle banding on dark sky scenes
I have tried combinations of these from the forum: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=139495
For Intel iGPU, you need to do as below-
- Download the latest Intel driver from here- Automatically identify and find drivers
- Disable DXVA2 but select software as Renderer Method, and disable everything else in XBMC settings/video/playback
- Enable "Use a full screen window rather than true fullscreen" in XBMC settings/system/video output
No joy! I did notice with DXVA2 enabled the GPU was bouncing upto 100% and disabled it was 0. The CPU’s did not saturate though, but still the stutter and the banding. If I exit and fire up explorer GUI I can run VLC full screen with no stutter and no banding.
Anyone else got any ideas on what setups may help or had any experience with this?
Thanks,
Chris.

If it makes a difference I’m also not using explorer as a GUI but jumping straight into XBMC as in this method http://cybernetnews.com/xbmc-run-boot-xb...-windows-8
