Thanks very much for the input ElChef! Sadly this did not work for me, although it may have helped I think.
I've found the solution to my own problems at least, and I hope they help others! The problem is deinterlacing. I've used mythtv's "tickbox" deinterlacing option, which did nothing. However, mplayer has good deinterlacing that fixed my problems of a horizontal line in fast motion playback - this worked for me, although I haven't yet tried to reduce the CPU overhead of it: MPLAYER_SOFTWARE_SCALER = '-vf pp=hb/vb/dr/al' Hope that helps, Dan --- ElChef <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Vertical refresh visible in animations > Description > The horizontal refresh is not synchronized with the application so that the > vertical refresh > is visible in animations.
