Hi,
Thanks for your reply. However I don't think the problem is anything to do
with insufficient processing power, my system can play 1080p blu-rays at
24fps flawlessly with an average cpu usage of 20% (30% peak). It is only
displaying this intermittent judder on 50hz video - even on standard
definition.
I am using it with a Sony HD LCD TV at 50hz refresh rate - both 720p and
1080p resolutions via HDMI.
Any help to troubleshoot this would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Pete
