When Playing Mpeg2 1080i content, the screen shakes every second or 2 and the video appears to ever so slightly hiccup… I am sure this has something to do with Deinterlacing etc. as 720p Mpeg 2 content does not do this. I do have the Mpeg 2 license installed and functioning. (I should note, 1080i H.264 content appears better than mpeg2. It still might seem a bit jittery every once in a while, but I would consider it watchable where as the above makes 1080i Mpeg2 content unwatchable)

Can anyone share if they are outputting their PI at 1080i so their TV can do the deinterlacing?

Did you remember to switch the video playback profile so that it matches
the build you are running?

With Peter's build, which runs in XCB mode, be sure to use "Setup ->
Video" to set the video playback profile to *OpenMAX Normal*.

When running Curtis' build with eglfs mode, be sure to use video
playback profile *OpenMAX EGLFS".
