It's a bit hard to tell, as it's a 100hz tv, doing its own deinterlacing as well. I'd guess it's a field parity issue though. I did see some "non-linear" judder watching football last night, but it might as well be the tv deinterlacer being confused due to field parity being wrong. Am not sure if vdpau actually turns off deinterlacing, it says "enabled features", but the value is set to 0. (vdpau patched xine-lib) vo_vdpau: recreate mixer to match frames: width=720, height=576, chroma=0 vo_vdpau: enabled features: temporal=0, temporal_spatial=0 vo_vdpau: enabled features: inverse_telecine=0 vo_vdpau: disable noise reduction. vo_vdpau: disable sharpness. vo_vdpau: vdpau_update_csc: hue=0.000000, saturation=1.000000, contrast=1.000000, brightness=0.000000, color_standard=0 vo_vdpau: output_surface size update The weird thing is that if I reenabled composite extension, the judder is gone, but then I see tearing of course. I run xine as xine --verbose=2 -V vdpau -A oss -F -r square --post vdr_audio --post upmix_mono "vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes" >> Am beginning to think that nvidia hardware is useless for 50Hz pal >> output.. > > Or at least it is with the current drivers.

Of course a matrox card gives the best output with correct field parity, but I'm interested in testing out vdpau acceleration. It would be good to have a vdr recording of some test material that can be used to detect judder, tearing and other artifacts.. -- Torgeir Veimo torgeir@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
