H.264 Podcast Pixelization

[Polypro]

I use Juice to download podcasts like Diggnation, Tekzilla, etc... to an import directory. Any FF or RW causes a pixelized screen for a few seconds and sometimes a video freeze while audio continues. They seek fine in Quicktime. Anyone seen this and fixed it?

Edit: Disregard, fixed by specifying Arcsoft for H.264 & AAC settings (videoframe/ ) in the properties file.

I don't have any arcsoft products and am experiencing this problem.

What other options are out there to fix this pixelation problem with these quicktime H264 videos?

[frontlinegeek]

Bump.

Anyone have any additional solutions to this issue?

[Polypro]

It has something to do with the following:

always_use_dshow_player=T/F
mplayer/use_for_all_mpeg4_playback=T/F
videoframe/h264_video_decoder_filter=

When the above is set up for the HDPVR files (True, False, ArcSoft), Revision3 podcasts are fine...but .flv videos are audio only. When set up for .flv files (I assume mplayer is used for these), I get the pixelization on Rev3 stuff. If you don't play .flv files, set up for HDPVR files and you should be fine.

(I could be wrong about this, but my tests point to the above as being the variables that cause the pixelization).

When you say FLV files, does that also include the streamed content in the online section of SageTV?

[Polypro]

I Never tested with those in that section. I have some YouTube videos I downloaded that would show black screen. (I pull them out of IE's Temp folder and rename with the .flv extension).
