[SOLVED] Smplayer tearing with Geforce 410M

bbb13 · 03-12-2012, 11:33 AM

I'm using kubuntu 11.10 on a sony vaio laptop with a NVIDIA Geforce 410M, 295.20 graphic drivers and vdpau on sm player. i get tearing in .avi files but not in HD mkv's. Sync to VBlack is activated in nvidia settings. any solution?

here's smplayer's config file:

# Write your default config options here!

[vo.vdpau]
vc=ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffh264vdpa u,

thnx

"ffh264vdpa u" ? Whats up with that space before the u?

Disable graphics effects and see if that helps. I had many issues related to compositing effects and vdpau.
What codecs do those avis use? I had success with h264 and vdpau but playing random avis was hit and miss (probably software decoding is used in certain cases).

just a typo, there's no space in real config file. point is, i don't wanna loose my desktop effects. where do i see about the codecs?

xv and gl also produce tearing

Disable the desktop effects temporarily and test the playback. Do you still have tearing?

the only solution unfortunately was to disable desktop effects, even in Kubuntu 12.04. thnx everyone for their help
