XBMC Video output (DVD)

[davidw]

Hello!

I have here a XBMC 8.10final1-intrepid4 in Full Screen on a Kubuntu 8.10. It's connected to a PAL 4:3 TV. XBMC is set for PAL 4:3.

I have problems when I play original DVDs.

The DVD movies are scribble or bucking. It depends on what configuration I chose in the Video OSD Menu while I play the DVD. But there is no setting that works perfect.

If I play a DVD in Full Screen in VLC I have no problem at all.

Are there any other settings where I can improve the video output!?

Any help I would appreciate!

Thanks
David

What's your hardware configuration? How well do they play if copied to the HDD?

It's a AMD X2 4850e(2x 2,5GHz) on a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H with 2GB Memory.
There is also a shutter or delay when I play different movies in different codecs and also DVD-Rips from the harddisk.

I don't think that I have the same problem like the people in "
No multithreaded Video decoding on XBMC INTREPID version (in-depth testing) (http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43075)" because when I play movie both CPU kernels have quite the same load.

For me the video output options are very confusing - maybe someone had the same problem and could fix fit. Maybe my XBMC config is wrong because I have black borders on the top and the bottom in XBMC and when I play a movie in XBMC.
