Splash PRO - 1080p stutters on AMD E-450 (Radeon 6320)

Hi,
Splash PRO v1.12.2.0 stutters while playing 1080p H.264 videos AMD E-450 chipset (integrated Radeon HD 6320, DXVA2 capable).
Settings: HW acceleration (detected as "ATI Avivo") is enabled, Motion2 is disabled.

Reference file - Big Buck Bunny 1920x1080 H.264

See scene from 07:40 to 07:50, bitrate approx. 20 Mbps, stutters a lot.

CPU usage is aroud 10% during this scene, and other HW components are not the bottleneck as well (SSD, 8GB RAM).

Thanks for looking into this.

Thanks for reporting this problem, we will try to reproduce it in our labs to see what may be causing this problem.

Make sure "Smooth Playback" is enabled in Catalyst. Try to disable all enhancements there.

Hi,
enabling Smooth Playback and upgrading to v 1.13.0.0 indeed made things better; thanks for the tip, P.J.
I cannot say which one of the two contributed most as I did both at the same time.
However, it's still still clearly visible that some frames are dropped during the pan scene.
I'd be glad to have any more such suggestions that might help out.

Thanks.

HD 6230 is weak GPU and can't handle all post-processings by shaders.
It's better to disable all features in Catalyst then try to add one by one.
In this case, you can disable Smooth Video Playback. Another thing is about UVD3.
Because your GPU clock is slow, it may not to handle high bitrate videos.
Also get the latest AMD driver (12.8) before testing the result.
Have you tried Windows Media Player 12?
