I often record BBC1 HD with a Hauppauge Win TV HVR 4400. Up until recently, the transport streams played back perfectly in both software (I am using Cyberlink Power DVD, Smart Cutter, Nero and others), and on hardware. For hardware viewing I usually clean up the stream with TsRemux (and/or Smart Cutter), and then create a blu ray with multiAVCHD (which I think in turn uses tsMuxer), and burn to a Verbatim BD-RE with ImgBurn so I can watch in the lounge rather than on the PC.
Until recently the streams have played back perfectly every time on a Sony BDP S380, no problems at all. However, suddenly (July 2012) I am getting really bad judder. I have not changed any hardware. Using freeze frame it looks as though the frames are being played back out of order. Every 7th frame, the stream jumps two frames rather than one, then goes back and plays the frame it has skipped, then resumes. It does this for the whole file. In software the exact same streams are playing back no problem! Incredibly, the exact same blu ray disc plays fine on a PC with Cyberlink PowerDVD, but not in the blu ray player! This has all suddenly started happening without any changes to hardware or software, having been okay for years up to now.
I know the BBC have been making changes to do with Wimbledon and the Olympics, and have boosted the resolution of BBC1 HD to 1920x1080, but I can't see why this would have any effect, but I suspect it is something to do with the BBC's encoders, since ITV HD and Channel 4 HD are still working fine just as before with no issues (and at the same resolution). If it is something to do with the BBC changing their encoders, it is beyond my level of understanding to get any further.
I have tried creating the blu ray with multiAVCHD and also with Arcsoft Totalmedia Studio 3 (demo version). I have also tried cleaning the stream with VideoReDo H.264 v4.2 (demo) and TSDoctor (demo). I'd have bought one of these if they'd fixed it, but no effect. Same result every time - no trouble on the PC, frames not in the right order on the Sony!
Is anyone out there seeing the same effect, and does anyone have a fix?
Looks like I'm watching on the PC for the forseeable future...
