[mythtv-users] VDPAU De-Interlacer broken

[O&M Ugarcina]

Hello Guys,

I have been having issues with VDPAU de-interlacer lately , and was 
wandering if anyone has seen a similar issue  . I have fc14 32 bit with 
myth .24 using latest stable nvidia drivers 260.19.44 on a gts-450 card 
. To summarise it all started after I upgraded myth from a very stable 
rev v0.24-199-g5367795 , on this rev everything worked 100% , then when 
going to v0.24-231-gc2baf1b I got a strange audio looping-video pausing 
effect .

  The video would slow down in bursts then speed back up to normal speed 
every 10 to 20 seconds , during these slowdown periods audio would loop 
and last few words would be repeated a couple of times over , while 
audio is repeating video would go on and the two would go out of sync , 
then audio and video would re-sync and play back normally for another 10 
to 20 seconds . My normal playback settings are using "VDPAU High 
Quality" profile . I changed the profile to "High Quality" which uses 
full software decoding only , and the problem went away and the playback 
is perfect . However my CPU loading increased dramatically .

Next I updated my installation of myth .24 to rev v0.24-250-g56c54fa to 
see if the situation with VDPAU was better . Unfortunately it is still 
broken . However I have been doing more testing to narrow down the 
circumstances under which the fault manifests itself . What I have found 
is that when using the VDPAU high quality profile if I set de-interlacer 
to any choice that has 1x in it everything plays perfectly . Once I set 
it to anything with 2x in it , then I get the audio looping-video 
pausing effect . So at the moment I have selected VDPAU high quality 
profile , using Advanced 1x de-interlacer , and playback is perfect . 
There must be something in the 2x processing that is broken .

Best Regards
