Daniel, Ian, I've been looking into this a bit further.
It turns out that my window settings in ratpoison (I was forcing padding on the window sizes for xmame) was causing the problem. After removing that, and setting my horizontal overscan to 4 (anything higher seems to make the borders wider), the picture seems to be pretty darn good using xv. It does glitch every now and then, but I think that's a function of the poorish signal that I have in my apartment. (I keep telling myself I'll read the manual for the HP cable analyzer we have at work, and bring it home.) Unfortunately, I still have some borders (but not too much). I suspect that is a function of either ffmpeg/libmpeg2 or my TV is on the fritz (it does have a color blotch every now and then, and it's at least five years old). Thanks for the information, it has certainly helped out. -- Joe --- Daniel Segel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ian Armstrong wrote: > > >On Tuesday 13 Sep 2005 18:40, Joe Votour wrote: > > > > > > > >>I'm using the MPEG-2 decoder (for now) in MythTV > (and > >>xv in the other applications) because the picture > is > >>fully overscanned on the MPEG-2 decoder, but I > have to > >>play with the MythTV settings to get it to work > >>without borders when using xv. > >> > >> > > > >MythTV should overscan by default with xv playback. > Do the other applications > >overscan or is it just MythTV that seems to have > problems.
