Sorry, try these

http://spork.qfe3.net/~chris/vdr/snapshot5.png

4 is broken, 5 is working.

Yes, I'm sure I'm using the cvs version, because -vo xv:use-defaults
works, which was only added after the last release. So I must be using
cvs build.

vdr recordings do not the record the OSDs do they? So I would need
something to externally record the contents of the framebuffer, or
the contents of the vdr window? (using xv output method). I'll look
for something that will do the job, do you have any suggestions?

I would concede that is probably is nvidia related. I'd like to try a
Matrox G450 or similar, but this is a PCI-e system with no AGP slots.

vdr 1.4.0 (binary build in Ubuntu 6.10)
I haven't seen any related looking changes in vdr 1.4.1 but it's worth
a go if I can get it to to build; I have some odd gettid undefined
errors if I try to build 1.4.0 manually, which I haven't resolved yet.

I have put the window wrapping snapshot back at

(the picture is correctly black and white, it was a b&w broadcast)
