Does anyone know if there is any software for playing back video on your TV-out device for recording purposes? Ie. an edited huffyuv project (uncompressed) to output to tape.
Regular TV-out and a media player is no good, you'll get frames repeating now and again and then it will skip a frame or two. Every media player I've ever tried does this, you just can't rely on it for perfect 1:1 output. And for the example I mentioned, huffyuv is no good because it doesn't work with overlays (so no vsync or filtering).
I think a software which uses Direct3D (I've had no problems getting a perfectly synced 30/60 fps stuff on a TV) to do the job would be best, probably buffering a few seconds in advance to make sure it plays back smoothly... and a number of options like output resolution, interlaced/noninterlaced etc. but I don't think it exists... |

yes, you're right, there is no easy way to do that properly.
but to avoid skip/drops, you should try "reclock". there are ways to output laced things too, but that may or may not work properly (depending on the device used).
matrox cards should output laced properly by default (although they need "divx g400" for some things) ati cards; http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php...readid=33714650 (look the end of the thread) bt869; http://www.tvtool.info/dcforum/DCForumID4/1896.html#2 (although last time i tried it (after upgrade to directx9c) it didn't really work. or i was trying it previously on too short clips(?). or i need newer reclock(i have old version)...lots of ors there. luckilly i don't use interlaced encoding that much at all)

just a small update here; after upgrade to recent reclock version (that's directx9 compatible) laced output is working OK again.
just tried it on some laced mpeg2 and mpeg4.
