GoPro Videos Not Playing Back

[SkierHiker]

I just got a GoPro Hero 3 Black for Christmas and have been doing some skiing videos. I'm shooting at 1920 x 1080, 48 fps and the video does not play back in SageTV. It's gets all garbled up then freezes. Playing back the video using WMP works though. If I re-encode the video to 24 fps it then works fine in SageTV. I'm going to do some more experiments with 30 fps but thought I'd get this posted for some feedback since I may want to shoot at 60 fps also.

You should probably post some info about the SageTV playback device (PC/OS version or extender) and some info about your video decoding settings...

The client is a Dell Studio 15 laptop. I updated my Signature with it's specs. SageTV Video Settings are set to the following:

Video Renderer - EVR
MPEG2 and H.264 Video Decoder Filter - ArcSoft Video Decoder
VC-1 Video Decoder Filter - Default
Media Player for non-MPEG Files - DirectShow
DScaler Deinterlacing Filter - Disabled

Could it be that the ArcSoft software is not capable of decoding 48 FPS video, or that DirectShow can't play it back?

Update - I tried various combinations of settings with 48, 30, and 24 FPS.

24 FPS works fine.

30 FPS only works with Microsoft Video Decoder Filter and DirectShow.

48 FPS kinda works with Microsoft or ArcSoft Video Decoder Filter and SageTV Player but it plays back in slow motion.

I tried all the Video Renderer options too and EVR was still the best.

I tried a bootlegged copy of CoreAVC 2.0 but it didn't seem to help (I would have bought it if it did).

All FPS videos work fine in WMP.
