Splash 1.2

[Nielo TM]

First experiences:

- it can play all MKV with audio
- sloooooow... With Picture2 I cant play MKVs with bitrate over 8-10 Mbps. I get cartoon-like movie: 2-3 seconds between frames. In these times the sound is gone too with green flashes. If I turn off Picture2, everything is OK.

Sorry, back to 1.1.

Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration?

Yes, of course, everything went fine, but the quality was very week.

I use this MKV for testing:
"Home 2009 Blu-ray 1080p AVC DTS-HD 5.1.mkv"
It's a 21GB monster with very high average bitrate (16-20 Mbps). With Splash 1.1 I didnt get any sound, but the picture was perfect with Picture2 (Motion2 = max).
With Splash 1.2 I get the sound but (as I wrote before) the movie went to slideshow. I thought the program needs time to caching. Waited for minutes, but the experiences are the same. Green flashings, audio and video unsynchronized, and nice slideshow. Splash using my 2 CPU cores above 80%.

P.S.: I've tried to play a tiny 3GB Full HD movie with low bitrate. (Ice Age 1) Same experiences.

Of course, other programs with GPU acceleration can play smoothly both video.

I'm expereincing DTS HD lossless cutting out over SPDIF still as with 1.1. I thought that I read that this was an issues that will be adressed. All that I have to do is switch the audio source to the 2nd track which is DTS (not DTS HD lossless) and it's fine. not really a big deal I guess but it would be nice to not have to switch the sound to the second audio track for each MKV movies that I saved with HD lossless.

I'm also expereincing the choppyness in picture with motion2 enabled, no matter the setting. But if i turn it off the 1080p MKV play fine.

I also noticed very minute micro-stutter a few times during MKV playback. but it;s still Way better than all of the other progams that I tried...

with this version I got two new issues:
- playback on extended desktop with gpu enabled is not smooth anymore (looks a bit like 15fps)
- playback with gpu disabled looks like 2-3 fps

system is xp sp3
card is agp 2600hd pro

didn't change anything since ver. 1.1 (which worked)

Yep, same here. The only way I could play my MKVs without stuttering was by disabling Motion2 (Detail and Light boost are on and don't seem to interfere with the stutter). But I really enjoyed the Motion2 effect. It's a shame that it seems to be broken in this new version.
