For a while I kept a mingw / qt3 build environment going myself under 32bit Windows XP but gradually this has gone quite rusty as (mostly) I shifted across to using VideoReDo H.264 on 64bit Windows 7. > - The content of the video window is not constantly refreshed.

However, I have noticed the above non-responsive button behaviour on 64bit Windows 7, coming back recently to a new installation of DVBcut-0.6.0-166 along with Tiesi's current build of Mplayer-rtm-svn-34401. This was only corrected by rolling back to an old copy of Mplayer-rtm-svn-28311. I'm not sure quite what this means - perhaps different implementations of the qt3 or qt3-under-qt4 libraries under mingw / mingw64? Ralph has not updated DVBcut for a while so the 166 / 28311 builds come from around the same date. > 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.)
