Picture freeze when switching between 4:3 and 16:9 or vice versa

[manison]

Hello,

anytime the TV programme changes its aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 or vice versa the picture freezes and in a few moments the sound also stops.

 

Only rebuilding the graph (or restarting the DVBViewer) helps. I noticed that the DVB Source filter is in stopped state and the last error is buffer overflow when this happens.

 

Can anybody help?

 

Thanks.

Run DVBViewer in debug mode, reproduce the problem and apply the workaround, then reattach the logs.

Logs reattached. The situation happens at 22:18 when commercial break starts (4:3 -> 16:9) and once again at 22:20 when the break ends (16:9 -> 4:3).

Try using some other video codec.

Some recommendations? I tried "MPC - MPEG-2 Video Decoder (Gabest)" and "ffdshow Video Decoder" but both without success.

Try Microsoft MPEG-2 Video Decoder.

I could not find Microsoft MPEG-2 Video Decoder, however I updated to the latest version of the ffdshow and made sure that it is enabled for MPEG-2 format and now the problem is gone. Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.
