guys mplayer isn't used for all ports beside xbox. Linux, Mac and Win32 uses an own developed solution based on ffmpeg.
elupus and CapnBry are working hard to get the jittery and all other visual things done whereas the ffmpeg update done by AreaScout might go in the main svn branch soon.

If you have a larger screen and do look closely you will see that ffmpeg does have a less compressed image over CoreAVC (8.5 I believe). I noticed this in a clouds scene on the first Planet Earth episode. OF course I was standign with my head 2 feet from the TV but it was still more compress around the edges of objects.

what ashalar said
Quote:Lack of support for hardware acceleration, lack of performance in h.264 decoding, lack of Reclock-like capabilities.
plus it won't even play some media properly, some SD WMV files cause artifacts, HD WMV files cause huge frame drops and about 20-40 seconds audio sync.
Another thing what I tried explain in my other thread, had to upgrade to quad core to get higher bitrate H264 files to play properly.
Dual Core was able to play them in WMP11 with FFDshow, but XMBC had CPU at almost 100% with frame skips, audio sync issues and motion blur.

Jester, I grabbed your test build.
XBMC just locks up when I try to use the launcher. I get this in the log:

If I copy the command line and paste it to a cmd prompt, it fires up just fine.
I have tried this with XBMC in a window and in full screen, with arguements and without. In all cases I do not see mplayerc running in the task manager (process explorer) and XMBC just locks up.

uhmm, strange, is the log from the normal log or the debug log ?
- GregKeys - 2008-12-04 22:31
Did not have debug on.....
Just noticed, the executeapp line has the app listed twice
My advancedsettings file looks like:
<advancedsettings>
<launchplayer>
<defaultplayer>false</defaultplayer>
<filename>"C:\Program Files\K-Lite Codec Pack\Media Player Classic\mplayerc.exe"</filename>
<args>/d3dfs</args>
</launchplayer>
</advancedsettings>
