Overview
We're a demanding bunch when it comes to media players with Kodi & having as-close-to-perfect video playback capabilities as possible. All videos should play smoothly and w/o distracting artifacts such as stutters, frame skips, improper framerates, macroblocking, and audio drop-outs.
Below is a collection of a/v clips for testing, pushing media player capabilities. Not all types, but the most widely used or critical types for home theater enthusiasts. No copyright infringement intended by any of us who've supplied really short (1-2 min. max) clips; they're for evaluation purposes only.
3D Test Clips
- Frame-packed/MVC 3D ISO (1080p/23.976)
- Frame-packed/MVC 3D MKV (1080p/23.976)
- HSBS (side-by-side) (in MKV @ 1080p/23.976)
