Clarification on Reclock capabilities

[Ulrezaj]

I'm having trouble getting Reclock to work, and I'm wondering if it's because of my misunderstanding what it's capable of.
My setup is an HTPC attached to a TV through a receiver, video over HDMI and sound over spdif. The main parts of my playback setup are MPC-HC, ffdshow, spdifer, and of course reclock. Most of my media is 23.97-98, and I passthrough audio for external decoding by my receiver.
With some videos I get the green icon, some I get yellow, but even with green I still see tearing. Is this because reclock can't handle passthrough audio over spdif? Or is there something else I'm missing entirely? I've spent quite a bit of time browsing this forum and others, but I can't seem to figure out what is causing reclock to fail. Any pointers would be appreciated!

The way I've understood it, the icon turns red/green/yellow depending on whether the frame rate conversion is activated or not. This impacts stuttering, but has little to do with tearing, The way to fix tearing is to have a steady vsync, which is fixed by having a good combination of the following:
* Vsync correction checkbox in reclock
* Vsync on/off (and aero on/off in vista)
* DXVA on/off. Off seems to be a lot easier
* Player program. To me MPC-HC works, while VMC does not
* Renderer choice. Best is probably VMR9 for XP and EVR for Vista (defaults)
* Not too much CPU-intensive background processes
* Pure luck

Vsync correction only works if Reclock is green to begin with...
And I fulfill all the other requirements you listed.

Just noticed the attachment failed last time. Zipped it and reattached.
