There seems to be some issue with connecting to network cameras on the capture page. v0.8.16 does not seem to pick up the live MJPEG stream. The stream has been validated to work on v 0.8.15.

I have found and fixed this particular bug. Network cameras should work again in 0.8.17.

Whats the command to exit full screen once in it?

There is no menu to get out yet, use F11 shortcut key.

EDIT: Got it F11, so far have to say impressed with 8.16 for playback not using capture functionality.

I have ran the current stable release on my poor little Asus EEE.  It seems o.k.

The path I have been exploring for the past few months is to have a separate thread that pre-buffers images in parallel to the playback.
The pipeline is now mostly reconstructed, and it does indeed give me better performances and thus less automatic speed decrease. Not as much as I would want, but some improvement nonetheless.

For smooth playback, the real culprit is in the rendering though. And after much experimentation, it's clear (again) that unless the rendering is done in a hardware accelerated technology (either WPF or even the older GDI) instead of GDI+, we will not have a seamless full HD playback for high framerates.

Problem is, WPF means that the whole user interface needs to be rewritten from the ground up. (Some experiments with Direct2D were also made but there was issues to re-convert back images to GDI+ objects for use in the rest of the program…). There is also a WPF control for interop with Winforms, I haven't checked how it could work with existing drawings and other parts yet.

Another route will be to work on a 64bit version and expand the cache size to several gigabytes so it can contain more than the current ~3 seconds of HD footage.

I see what you mean about nudging the bar.  It really doesn't help much though.

What's really annoying is the speed changing by itself (always slower) all the time.  Is that related to the same problem?

Further info.
I just had a look at my project, it is almost like something is refreshing constantly.  When the video is paused, the controls at the lower right flicker (save picture etc), and on mouse over it takes a while for the tooltip to appear.  Maybe its another Windows 7 thing.

Ha! This.
I think I know where it's coming from. I had made some experiment to make the controls render faster, especially when changing the main window size, to improve the experience when going in or out of full screen mode. (Otherwise you can see each control outline before it's actually rendered, not very nice). After more use, I also noticed that there seems to be a conflict between this modification and the splitter control, especially the one between the list of files and the playback screen. It doesn't happen everytime, but when it does it's horrible.

When this flickering happen (and consumes 100% CPU), try to nudge the splitter left or right to expand or reduce the file explorer panel. In my experience this cause things to fall in place.
I have removed that modification for future versions.

For some reason recorded video is not as smooth as in .15

Thanks

+1, it is terrible.

Also when I lock two videos and superpostion them, the speed wants to drop.

On the plus side, I can now save superposition!  I have Windows 7 and the button did not show in the other version.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks
