Hi Reinhard, I have downloaded and installed the latest CVS of ffmpeg and xine-lib as well as installing the latest vdr-xine-0.8.0. I again followed the general compilation instructions at the Open Suse DVB-S2 instructions page. I have just tried it on BBC HD (Astra 2 - H264/MBAFF) as well as HD2/5 (Astra 3 H264/???) and I get video jumping every 2 seconds. Here is the [clipped] output from xine (verbose=3): - video_out_xshm: video mode depth is 24 (32 bpp), TrueColor, not swapped, video_out_xshm: red: 00ff0000, green: 0000ff00, blue: 000000ff x11osd:
