Thanks for the explanation Rick, and Bob. But I still don’t understand why more heavily encoded files, like the video files from my Nikon D7000 or any full HD AVC files for that matter do not have these kind of problems…
In fact, after a bit more testing, it seems the only cases I ever notice such severe macroblocking inducing behavior is with YouTube downloaded videos, which should in theory need less computing power to decode, right? Maybe I’m not understanding something…
