[mythtv-users] Mac OS X choppy playback at high display resolutions, such as 1080p

[MythTV]

Todd,

Try this simple patch without the previous patch.

What I think is happening is that in order to keep the line count a  
multiple of 16 the video height is being set to 1088 but the actual  
content is 1080.  When this happens the pixel aspect ratio difference  
becomes 0.013 which causes a transform matrix to be created so  
Quicktime will try to "transform" the image to maintain the aspect  
ratio.  By allowing a 0.015 difference in pixel aspect ratio to be  
ignored it should remove the need for the transform.

After a very quick test it seems to work for me.

Let me know if this fixes the problem for you.
