Hi,<br>I've seen a similar problem on my setup using VDPAU and only on certain channels (with a highly compressed video stream). I tried several different solutions (e.g. adjusting X-server settings, vdpau-options). What finally helped me out was to upgrade to 0.25 and select OpenGL video decoding. The rendering could be left at VDPAU without problems.<br>

The last few weeks i have had a problem with playback. I have used VDPAU<br>
since about 1½ year without any problems. But recently when watching<br>
recordings i get a lot of pixelation(or what it is called) when there is a<br>
scene change or fast moving scenes when there is a lot of movement on the<br>
screen. If i switch to OpenGL instead of VDPAU the problems go away.<br>
<br>
But then i get another problem. With OpenGL i cant watch LiveTV, i get a<br>
lot of:<br>

(PrebufferEnoughFrames) - Player(4): Waited 102ms for video buffers<br>
AUUUUUUUUuUuLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA<u></u>AP<br>
<br>
And i get a little paus every 2-3 second, impossible to watch LiveTV. But<br>
to get it even more strange, VDPAU seems to work fine with LiveTV.<br>
<br>
LiveTV: VDPAU = Good, OpenGL= Bad<br>
Recordings: VDPAU = Bad , OpenGL= Good<br>
<br>
I have a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8200 @ 2.66GHz, and about 15-22% cpu<br>
utilization when running OpenGL, so i should have enough power, and since<br>
it works fine with recordings...<br>
<br>
If someone is interested to help me i would be happy to supply better log<br>
files, but i dont know what options to enable that would be helpful.<br>

Maybe i was a little fast in my conclusions, it seems that pixelation is<br>
still present with VDPAU and LiveTV. But if i record the program, switch to<br>
OpenGL and watch the recording it works.<br>
But i would like to use VDPAU all the time like before, the quality of the<br>
picture is better with VDPAU.<br>

In Live TV, hit pause for a couple seconds or LEFT (to skip back a few seconds) and it will likely work fine with VDPAU.<br>
