park run is encoded in spatial mode. I have tried samples in both 1080 and 1088 and it only show the first frame and not the rest. It also always dies with 720p.

Thanks, I think MBAFF might be causing the problem. But I find it odd that it would cause the player to crash in 720p.

I have tried both 0.8.5FreeHD and 0.8.6Test with a 3.2 GHz intel machine.
I get the same result. 3.2GHz is not enough?

Also what about the 720p one, that one makes the VLC Player crash.

Thanks

Could you please give me some insight to this? The VLC Player crashes after I try to play a 720p and it displays only the first frame when I try to play 1080i. here is the log for 720p: main debug: thread times: real 0m14.625187s, kernel 0m0.031250s, user 0m0.000000s main debug: thread 4948 joined (...

I understand that but could you please point me to the source code that uses PTS and DTS in VLC ? or are we relying on the way the data is delivered in VLC Player? Also is MBAFF supported yet or no? This what I get in my log: ffmpeg warning: MBAFF + spatial direct mode is not implemented (h264@01149...

Hi Could any of you please tell me as soon as possible how VLC decodes a H264 TS stream with respect to time stamps? I would like to know when it uses "PTS" (like for display or decode) and when does it use "DTS-decoding time stamp" (like for display or decode) and if you could p...

This free-hd has the same issue as the 0.8.6 test. However, I think there is less shaking (out of order frames) than the 8.6 one. Do you know how the frame ordering is happening? Is there a pool that the packets get inserted into and then to output them their time stamps is checked so that they are ...

The media that I have is MBAFF. So I guess it is supported but it doesn't work properly yet. Let me know if there is anything else that I can tweek to see what is the problem. It seems to me that is because of how the decoding of TS is done and if they are using the time stamps or not.

Cheers

Well then I guess VLC is not supporting H264 TS yet. I have seen two players that play this correctly. One is http://www.leadcodecs.com and the other one is VLPlayer (LSI Logic).

Please let me know if you come up with anything.

I did assign VLC only to one CPU and it didn't make a difference. Also I did try installing 8.6 test1 and 8.5 to see if they give out more information on the advanced tab but there was no change from what I posted up there. Only 8.6 actually shows the video where as in 8.5 is grey. Do you have a deb...

The advanced tab shows no info. Only the following:

Stream 0
Codec: H264
Lanugage:
Type: Video

One of my CPUs go up to %29 and the other one is goes up to %10 while playback.

It seems that is it playing the frames in incorrect order.

It is a dual code 3.2Ghz with 2G of RAM. I don't think that's a problem.

You tried the 0.8.6 beta build or nightlies? I know they contain some fixes/improvements for H.264. I just tried 8.6 test. Now it seems shows the movie at least but the problem now is that it seems that it is seems that is displaying frames in incorrect order, maybe B and I frames are being interch...

Hi I am trying to play H264 TS on VLC but it doesn't decode it properly and I see a grey screen. Do you happen to have a debug build for windows so that I can trace the problem more? I can send you the TS that doesn't work. It works fine on http://www.leadcodecs.com TS player. Please let me know ASA...
