Yeah, I tried that, but it didn't change.

thats a very good result for non matching refresh rates, see this page for detailed explenation on judder: http://www.ostrogothia.com/

Thats very strange.

EVR outputs RGB to the videocard, which means the levels are defined before hand.

Is your display full or limited range?
there is also a thread about this issue here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=143689

When I set Dynamic Range to "Full (0-255)" in the Nvidia CP it only makes a dfference when using certain renderers, not including default renderer, or the one windows media player uses. Strange, but unfortunately true.

At its base its very simple:

Your display supports one or both of the options (16-235 and 0-255)

Your videocard, depending on the connection, supports one or both (16-235 and 0-255)

Finally the renderer, based on selected settings, converts from or to either.

all 3 settings have to match to get the correct image.

Maybe your clip was incorrectly made. Obviously all pieces of software try to "Auto" detect which field comes first, and whatever they are reading as being first is incorrect in this case, its not the softwares fault really.

Maybe you could make clip again and set first field correctly so then Auto in things like ffdshow will work, giving you smooth video.

6. MPC-HC + ffdshow w/ "Set interlace flag" set to Auto/Top-Field-First - Best. Smooth, properly-deinterlaced video.
7. MPC-HC + ffdshow w/ "Set interlace flag" set to OFF, ffdshow's Deinterlacing filter set to CubicInterpolation/yadif/TomsMoComp (all w/ default parameters) - Same as #6.

Is it ok that the graph shows about 24 sync glitches a second?

if the video and display refreshrate do not match this can be considered normal.

i'm now 99% sure i messed something up and that it's not MPC-HC's fault :P
and it's probably related to the scan order, as you say, but i have no idea how to set this up correctly. will have to google a bit more ....
Thanks for the input!

later edit: using the x264 version with the nal-hrd & interlace patch will give a interlaced material that MPC-HC will deinterlace properly. without it only Arcsoft TMT3 somehow manages to get the right field order.

in regards to the goth sync branch of mpc, what does the control +/- setting in the synchronization section do?

Sorry Tetsuo, but the problem still persist with this updated driver; I'm doing some tries to evaluate the goodness of the Windows 7 DXVA encoder that seems to not have the same problem of the internal MPC-HC DXVA encoder...

I have reported this problem on numerous occasions to one of the developers in private conversations. It still exists in the latest builds. BTW this does not occur when using the microsoft's dvt/dvd decoder (win 7). In fact, I see no reason to use the internal mpc decoder as the microsoft's one is better quality, has no obvious glitches and is slightly faster too.

EDIT: Microsoft's decoder also manages to play all mkvs I throw at it with dxva, while the internal one would skip dxva acceleration for some of those mkvs.

That's pretty unsuprising considering Microsoft wrote the DXVA specification and has the cooperation of all GPU manufacturers. Having said that they do still have some unfixed issues.

Compare that to us where we have one developer for DXVA and limited manufacturer cooperation.

The strange things is that this artifacts problem occurs always in the same part of the movie, and it is like this:

Can you try this:

Rightclick menu > renderer settings > reset to default settings
And if that does not help
Rightclick menu > renderer settings > reset to optimal settings

EDIT: I can confirm: with Microsoft DXVA decoder ther is no prob

allright, please create a bug report on trac and add one of the broken samples

instructions on creating the bug report in my signature under "checklist"

matthew_eli, this happened to me too. It involved a crappy external hard drive. When I would copy a video over to it, every now and then during the video there would be a bunch of artifacts, and always in the same part, even if I copied the file again. I just had to use a different drive to stop having the problem.
