BD Playback: Pixelization

I've already submitted everything to Sage, but wanted to see if anyone else is seeing this:

BDs from the disk or folder work fine with TMT 3. In Sage, I'm getting brief (milliseconds) pauses, accompanied by pixelization, randomly throughout the movie. It appears to be during scene changes, but that could just be coincidence. It happens with either the Arcsoft or MS decoder, from both disk drive or hard drive, and doesn't occur in TMT 3 or Windows Media Player. I can't recall it occurring with .21. Has anyone watched a BD with .22 and seen this, or not? The titles were Robin Hood, Iron Man 2, and Get Him To The Greek. Previously I watched Cop Out and Ghost Writer (with v.21) and don't remember seeing it.

Definitely try removing .22 and then installing .21 again and see if you still have the problem. If you still have the ones you watched with .21, also try those in .22 first to see if they play fine. Then go ahead and submit a bug report with your results.

I will. Waiting on Netflix. I don't have the previous titles though.

Sounds exactly like what I"m seeing while trying to play back MKV files. I recently was unable to playback any video after upgrading to 7.0.22 but I have since done a clean sage install and now get the same thing you described for MKV. ATSC TV now looks fine though.

Just like in your situation if I playback my MKV using Windows Media player I see no stutter or problems whatsoever. I've tried using Cyberlink Decoder, default Win7 Decoder and CoreAVC with no luck.

Here's what it looks like:



Lasts for less than a second, then clears up. Reappears randomly.

Looks just like what I've seen. Sage support suggested I update my video card or try newer drivers but the current set up was working with 7.0.21

Unfortunately if I keep taking down my server and rebuilding it for this test my HD200's go down and the WAF goes way down.

I am having this same issue. At first I thought I had a couple of bad bluray rips. But over the weekend I noticed it was all my blu rays which were working fine.
