Reproduction Steps
MPV Software testing 1: mpv <file> --no-config
MPV Software testing 2: mpv <file> --no-config --profile=fast
MPV Hardware testing 1: mpv <file> --no-config --hwdec=d3d11va
MPV Hardware testing 2: mpv <file> --no-config --hwdec=d3d11va --profile=fast
Firefox Hardware testing: drag and drop into new tab
Expected Behavior
MPV Software testing 1: maybe slow
MPV Software testing 2: maybe slow
MPV Hardware testing 1: fast
MPV Hardware testing 2: fast
Firefox Hardware testing: fast
** slow means visable shuttering
Actual Behavior
MPV Software testing 1: slow
MPV Software testing 2: fast
MPV Hardware testing 1: slow
MPV Hardware testing 2: slow
Firefox Hardware testing: fast
** slow means visable shuttering

Sample Files
No response
I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:
- I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
- I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
- I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of
--log-file=output.txt. - I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
- I attached the full, untruncated log file.
- I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported commands with the supplied mpv version and compare the software and d3d11va runs. Inspect output.txt alongside the playback behavior and the issue's hardware and codec details. Done means identifying and correcting the cause of visible shuttering during hardware-decoded VP9 playback, with the listed reproduction cases behaving as expected.
