Further testing shown that it is not related to the lenght of the video and also neither to kbps or fps. It sometimes flashes and sometimes not. But it is consistenly reproducable for particular videos and particular machine. I can reproduce on a desktop computer AMD Althlon 4000+, Win XP. But I cannot reproduce with the same computer on Windows 7 with the same video. And I cannot reproduce on Lenovo laptop on Win Vista with the same video. My expectation is that it might be related to a particular video codec. |

As discussed with Michal over IM, it is not related to video codec. And also it is not related to Win XP as Michal cannot reproduce the problem. It looks that there is something wrong with the particural system / machine. Hard to say, but it doesn't seem to be a problem directly related to MediaMonkey. |

I would suspect that the issue is with How GPU handle overlays and Alpha blending. It is known that some Intel Integrated GPU have issues especially older GPU models like 2000, 955 and 945 that emulate Hardware T&L and some other Driver API calls. |

Closing not related to MM directly but to either Windows or Hardware driver. I can Simulate that when putting my GPU in Force power save Mode (Using ATi Tray Tools) where all Hardware accelerations are cut down to 15% of default values and only 2D desktop work can be done without any flickering. |
