(I still output 60hz from the Mac-Mini display settings) That is Step 1Īll that aside, many people recommended that I have set the A/V Sync to ON (with audio resampling) and noticed that the judder issue happens every 80-100 seconds now.
What settings should I use to get the purest cinema experience? Should I switch the framerate to match the movie AND use the A/V sync method? Should I also try SwitchResX to try and get as close to 23.976 as possible? Any help would be appreciated Has anyone found a way to completely eliminate this (using SwitchResX) or some other method? I only notice it during long horizontal pans, high paced action sequences (or scrolling credits at the end). Since you can't do a native 120Hz from the mac to the tv, you will still have a pulldown performed since you are sending 24 frames on a 60Hz signal.
If you are capable of setting your output to 120Hz and your tv will actually accept a 120Hz signal that would be best. Your tv probably does not actually accept a 120Hz signal, nor can you output one anyways (I assume you are using HDMI, which I do not think can even accomodate a 120Hz signal). So you are still going to get pulldown unless you actually use a 24hz output. In which case, you want to use the adjust refresh rate option. Unfortunately the signal has to switch every time, so your tv will reset every time. Setting your mac to permanent 24hz will affect the UI only in that scrolling and things like that would be choppier. I am also not entirely sure what would happen when you played content with higher framerates, but I am guessing you will end up with dropped frames and stutter.Plex can play back a wider range of video and audio file formats than Front Row, including AVI, MPEG files you’ve downloaded via BitTorrent, FLV Flash files you’ve downloaded from YouTube, and Ogg Vorbis audio files. Plex can play media streamed from shared network drives.
That means you could host your video collection on an old Mac or Windows PC stashed somewhere out of the way, and still watch it on the Mac in your living room, office, or bedroom.
Plex can play large video files that are split up and packed into archives-such as RAR or ZIP files you might download from Usenet-without requiring that you extract them first. Plex works with universal-remote controls, such as Logitech’s Harmony controllers, as well as the Apple Remote. Plex has some handy informational widgets-a news ticker, a weather forecast, and system information-built in.
