Playback quality

[steveG]

I have a question about the current and future state of the video playback.  I have tried to playback some .mpg files from a usb stick with the osd.  The file plays back without problems on my computer from the same usb stick.  When I try to play it back on the osd the video is very stop and start.  It will play for perhaps two seconds, then halt for a second before continuing.  If I play back a lower bitrate, less than full screen,  .avi file the playback seems to proceed without the problem.

So...

Should the video playback without problems from a usb stick or should I just plan to use an sd card?
How close to final quality is the current record and playback?

I do hope playback issues improve, the codecs do need some work yet.

I find many mpg files are dropping frames while playing, giving a stuttery video. The following bug:
http://bugzilla.neurostechnology.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807
details this issue, however the 3rd message isn't too encouraging.

I've also got avi files where the a/v sync continually goes way out within a few minutes. Hopefully related to this bug:
http://bugzilla.neurostechnology.com/show_bug.cgi?id=783.

I can have these files available on request, if anyone's interested. However I won't log duplicate bugs!

There are problems if playback mpg files at present( 3.26-0.29),the problem is same as your description. It's not relevant with using USB or SD cars.
This problem will be fixed later.
