Hey guys - I have finally gotten my HTPC and Projector to play nice together - and I have movie playback at 99% perfect! It is that 1 little percent which is going to drive me bonkers. Steps already done: Verified FPS on video playback @ 23.976 Set Nvidia card output to 23Hz (which is 23.976 from what i have read) Turned off 'frame creation' on my Projector (Panasonic AE-4000U) These steps have literally eliminated panning judder - and I can enjoy my movies truly the way they were meant to be seen. However, randomly while watching - I get a stutter. Get this - it is usually during a SLOW scene in the movie - NOT an action intense sequence which I would expect. After all of my judder issues - I watch panning scenes and action scenes like a HAWK to make sure they are playing right - I never notice this random stutter during those scenes. My normal thinking would be that if I had a hardware deficiency - this would show during the intense scenes. My only other thought is that no movie plays at perfect FPS so after 10-15mins I will get this random stutter due to this fact. Anyone else have anything similar? Any ideas to try? I will not use ReClock because I output my digital audio to the receiver via spdif (optical)- and reclock doesn't like this and has to re-encode blah blah - I refuse to sacrifice audio quality. PS - System Specs: C2D 8400 CPU - (25-30% max usage during playback) 2GB DDR2 ram @ 1000mhz - only 200-300mb ram utilized during playback (and nothing else running on this system - dedicated HTPC) NVIDIA GTS 450 1GB Video card Sound Blaster X-Fi w/optical out Win 7 Home Premium 64bit
