Hello David, thanks again for your mail.

I didn't have a look at usage rates, but since even the old P4 was able to play the videos seamlessly, the new i3 definitely is heavily "underloaded"... :-) > Have you a different graphics card / driver you can try? No - neither at hand nor fitting into the rather small PC case... I can't easily see if other drivers are available - however, MPlayer alone (started from command line) works fine, so it definitely is something about Windows not knowing that the MPlayer window inside the DVBcut window needs refresh... > Good luck and best wishes. Let me know if there are other tests you > might need. Don't know how to proceed - other than activating Aero. Did it now and video playback is fine. However, upon now every start of video playback the color scheme is switched to "Windows 7 Basis", and back to Aero when I stop playback. But this is something I can live with. Again, thanks for your support. (Should you - or anyone else - stumble over something related to this issue, please leave me a note...)
