Video Problem. Bottom half of screen is messed up

UPDATE! I think I fixed it! All I did is update Handbrake to latest version.

Now I only tested it using the preview. I am now creating full file and I will update to let you know the result.

Update #2 Everything works fine now! However the video sometimes run slow but that’s due to RPi’s limitation. I plan to order RPi 2 to fix this.

Original post below.

I’m using RPi B. I have strange problem I never seen before. The video file in question works fine on PC. But when i play it on RPi I get this green stuff on bottom half of screen. see image http://i.imgur.com/upnQQBF.jpg

I ripped the file from Star Trek TNG bluray and compressed it using handbrake. I never had this problem with any other files in the past that I created using handbrake.

Here’s what I tested.

Raw MKV file from MakeMkv works fine on RPi.
Created MKV file from Handbrake using High profile and normal profile. Still same result.

The strange thing is that the first episode Encounter at Farpoint file created from Handbrake works fine. Only other episodes does not work right.

Here’s the mediainfo copied from MPC-HC.

Any idea what’s wrong?

I have the same problem as well. But I only see the bottom half broken and it immediately stops playback.

I have fixed my problem. I added the update to top of my post. Maybe it will help you as well.
