I think I finally found the cause of my stutter problem.

any work on xbmc-smoothvideo regarding osx is stalled until 9.04 release. I have too much to do already hunting bugs.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I didn't see a more pertinent thread in the current forum. I'm still seeing this video jitter/stutter behavior with XBMC 10.0 (OSX Intel) and the latest Handbrake (0.95) with universal settings. Before I change to forced frame rates, is there updated information or a better solution?

Any stutter you see in the current release of XBMC should be unrelated to this specific issue. This ended up being fixed before XBMC 9.10 shipped. It was apparently one of those odd bugs someone noticed when working through some code for something else.

I suggest you do some tests, get some debug logs, and make a new post with information. Try non handbrake files (h.264 movie trailers and stuff work great) to see if it's global beyond those, try setting "sync playback to display" etc.

I just noticed this today when trying to playback a downloaded "trailer".

Got the same error under OSx 10.7.2 with Eden beta 1:

ERROR: CDVDPlayerVideo::OpenStream - Invalid framerate 1000, using forced 25fps and just trust timestamps.

This is what it looks like with QuickTime player, and XBMC:

And this is how it looks like with MplayerX

I also have this issue with most if not all my movies using the latest Eden Betas. (All m4v files transcoded using Handbrake.) I understand there was a fix earlier, but is this a bug that has reared it's ugly head again?

cut a sample and dropbox it.

I posted a couple of clips on my site: link

XBMC will change refresh rate appropriately for Fast and Furious even though the log says "invalid framerate", but Fast Five does not initiate the refresh rate change.

I've also included Media Inspector reports for both of the full movies and a XBMC log file where I launched XBMC, played both movies for a couple of minutes and quit.

I trimmed the clips using MPEG Streamclip, but it changes the extension to mp4 instead of m4v. (Not sure if that matters to you.)

Thanks.
