Enable OpenGL vsync, bob deinterlacer and Xv or XvMC output. Gone is your jerkiness :) The vsync btw is very important, or else the image will start jittering up and down a pixel, which could give you even a bigger headache. --Jeroen David Krainess schreef: Hi all, Just an annoyance, the

I reckon that it must have something to do with the 0.18.1+ code, because on 0.18 everything ran smoothly. Since I compiled the 0.18.1 release (from the website) and used it, the playback of recordings freezes after a few seconds. Everytime I have to stop it and press play once again; only

For a good image quality: do not use SiS. The chip doesn't support any form of vsync control, neither hardware or software; even a vga-rgb/scart cable doesn't give optimal results. Therefore, tv-out using the bob deinterlacer (the only filter producing fluid motion) goes jittering every now

Now use your video card's TV-out, enable Xv (which is generally hardware accelerated) and set the resolution to 720x576 if you are in PAL land or 720x480 for NTSC and use the bob deinterlacer. Now you have the same fluid and smooth motion as TV with a sharp image. The trick is, that the bob

Well, with Xv and a nvidia card and singlehead, there shouldn't be any tearing whatsoever on video playback, unless you disable that through the nvidia-settings app. That's built in to the driver. Tearing, though is separate from the vsync support code in myth, which uses the vsync info it
