If I use MythTV to view my recordings (haven't bothered with really
testing live TV), playback is smooth, but anything in the screen with
decent motion suffers from poor up/down conversion and creates lines
of blocky picture (see ATTACH PHOTO as sample). I assume this is
caused by XvMC because after searching many threads I found that if I
run 'export NO_XV=1' before running MythFrontEnd, the blocky lines go
away, but is now replaced with general frame drops. Also, I had to
turn on audio buffering because I was getting some ever so slight
stutter in both modes.
NO_XV doesn't turn off XvMC it turns off Xv acceleration which is completely different. Leave XvMC off (in the playback settings), and turn on the bob deniterlace filter see how that looks. Also, try using the libmpeg2 option for decoding.
Lastly, you need to make sure your output resolution closely matches your capture resolution.
Just to update those who are paying attention or may read this :
My OSD is in color, not grayscale so apparently I'm not using XvMC at all. As it turns out, I tried using the 'One Field' deinterlacing and that one actual works to clear up the problem I'm having.. Kernel, Bob, and Linear did nothing to help. But this causes my CPU to hit 100% when upconverting a 720p program to my near 1080i resolution. :-( This has been less fun than expected.
I may try to code in an option to simply call mplayer externally. Right now I really couldn't care less about the commercial advance feature, I just want to start watching my recordings smoothly.
