FYI I experienced this issue in mplayer some months back (at that time I was forced to use mplayer to watch h264/AC3/mkv files). The most recent release of mplayer fixed the issue... I am sad to see that it is present in the current release of myth.<br>
<br>Again, it only occurs with DTS streams.<br>/drdaz<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Feb 23, 2008 at 8:04 PM, Gísli Óttarsson <<a href="mailto:gislio@gmail.com">gislio@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>I have found that not all players are created equal in this regard. This is one area where Totem (gstreamer) and Xine are definitely better than Mplayer. <br><br>I have an Athlon64x2 3800+ and I have experimented a bit with multithread settings in Mplayer but I have not gotten anywhere.<div>

I'll have to try forcing it down to stereo to see if I get the same<br>
result as you. I forgot to mention in my previous post, but I do<br>
experience the same stuttering using mplayer as well.<br>
