I have one channel that consistently gives me distortion. I record "Smallville" on ABC Family. Without fail, very bright areas with defined edges have many small black horizontal lines. These lines are relatively short, and they seem to swarm or flicker around the affected area.
I've tried decreasing both the brightness and color saturation in the settings for this channel, but the overall picture suffers while the artifacts seem to persist. I've included two short clips (1.3M and ~720K) in case anyone can identify possible causes. http://mark.staudinger.net/~mark/mythtv/abcfamclip1.avi http://mark.staudinger.net/~mark/mythtv/abcfamclip2.avi I'm capturing at a resolution of 592x432 with DVD-Special 2 @ 5000/7500 bitrate. I have cropped the recording to 576x432 and a lower bitrate for the clips. I'd appreciate any tips or suggestions. Thanks.... -=Mark
