Hello, from time to time I use DVBcut to cut TV recordings made with a PVR, and afterwards burn them on DVD.
This has always worked perfectly fine with my "good old" PC (a P4 running Windows XP Pro). However, after replacing that PC with a current one (Core i3 with Windows 7x64), playback of the video doesn't work correctly any more from within DVBcut. It appears as if there are some problems with the interaction of the two threads (DVBcut and MPlayer) and the operating system: - The content of the video window is not constantly refreshed. Only if redrawing the window area is necessary for some other reason (i.e. moving another programs window overlapping to DVBcut), the related part of the video window is correctly redrawn. I assume that Windows 7 doesn't get the information that the content of the DVBcut window needs to be refreshed due to new content of the Mplayer window within it. If Aero is activated, screen refresh seems to work significantly better. Obviously, Aero forces some kind of "continuous screen refresh" (wasting ressources...). - After playback has been started, it cannot be stopped anymore. The only way to stop it is by closing DVBcut. As above, I assume that the mouse click on the stop button is not properly transferred to the MPlayer thread that runs "inside" the DBVcut window. (Activating Aero doesn't change anything here.) If I start the playback with Mplayer by command line, the video is shown perfectly, so it's pretty obvious it's not a missing codec or the like. (All other players I tested also work fine and smooth.) All without Aero (which I don't like, BTW). Does anybody (successfully) use DVBcut with Windows 7 (x64), including MPlayer playback within DVBcut? If so, I would like to share some details about system setup etc. - if not, would someone dare to have a look at this problem? If more tests need to be done, that's no problem - I'll try to help as much as I can.
