I have tried using multiple playback programs (mythtv, vlc, quicktime, etc.) and I'm confident the video file is not corrupt or being played back incorrectly. It is a problem during recording.
Has anybody experiencing this tearing before? My PVR-500 worked beautifully until I wiped clean, upped to FC7. Now I get this tearing: http://chris.luethy.net/get_photo.php?id=657 http://chris.luethy.net/get_photo.php?id=658 Recently, I wiped it clean again and installed the latest version of KnoppMyth and still, the problem persists. Any ideas? Firmware issue maybe? Help! - Christopher Thielen Steve Smith wrote: > Chris, > > That looks like "tearing" rather than ghosting.
