This method of FRC is the most basic of what SVP uses. MediaPlayer.NET (MPDN) employs this technique and calls it "Fluid Motion". Your idea for making video playback smoother by means of what you call linear interpolation is simply a blend method of frame rate conversion (or Blend FRC). (#4) The files I have are all H.264 mkv files, but I don't think the file format/encoding matters. (#3) View > Renderer settings > Reset > Reset to optimal renderer settings (#2) This example converts a 24 fps video into 30 fps I think a video player could make the video smoother by doing linear interpolation, such as: 1. Is it possible to play 23.976 or 24 fps video smoothly on a 60Hz display? I've tried other video players ( VLC and KMPlayer), the ReClock Directshow Filter, video files from different sources (#4), turning on/off DXVA, and a computer with a different GPU, but the judder in the playback is similar. My display does not support 24Hz or 48Hz, and forcing them in the Nvidia control panel gives blurry screen. Setting my LCD display to 50Hz may have improved the judder slightly (but I can't really tell).

Using "optimal renderer settings" (#3) instead of the default disables the Aero theme and causes tearing. The judder looks like what would be caused by a "2:3 pulldown", where the frames are played unevenly like:įrame 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, etc (#2)

each frame shifts horizontally by 10 pixels), so the problem is how the 23.976 fps video is interpolated to 60Hz. I stepped through the video frame by frame and found that the panning movement is smooth (e.g. But for panning shots, playback is not smooth.

With the default settings (#1), video playback is great most of the time.
