Hey guy's i've just set up XBMX live on my acer revo and it's all nice and swish expect i seem to be having a problem when playing back mkv's I'm getting a slight judder every now and again it's more noticeable on some than others every so often the video will stutter as if it's dropping frames or some thing.
Anyone else get this?

Should work fine.. I guess it is HD mkv's?
Make sure you have chnaged shared memory => 512mb
BTW, it is Live 9.11alpha? Otherwise you will have to upgrade the nvidia drivers

Try it with custom modlines in xorg.conf. For me the built in 1920x1080@50p resolution made the problem. I changed to modelines. Now it is working fine.

Ok i've tried that but now i've just got a small box in the center of my screen.
Edit ok i've sorted that needed to change the resolution.
Edit Edit: Ok got it now running at 1920x1080@50 just check and it still seems to be happening it's like a slight stutter.

I'm playing 1080p films, I’ll check the adjust refresh rate and enable sync playback when I get home from work, I take it enable sync playback is done through in XBMC.
Cheers for the help by the way much appreciated.
Edit: Home from work and i've set the resolution the 1920x1080 @60Hz also added the vertical sync durring play back and added adjust refresh rate and IT WORKS! Excellent! thanks a lot for the help man chuffed to bits with my revo now!

Hi, I tested your Sample, and I have the same issue. No dropped frames, exept the ones in the start, and VDPAU working.
It doesn't flow as I want, it plays with a small jidder/judder.
I have "tuned" my xorg.conf already and tested a bunch of things with sync settings, nothing helps. Haven't tested "stand-alone" XBMC yet, as someone suggested, if that makes a difference.
Any Idées?

panosdl: Do you have 24fps? If 24p isn't working you'll get this small judder because XBMC has to upscale 24 pictures per second to 25.

panosdl: set the vertical blank sync option in the settings and tell me the fps.
