[mythtv-users] Need help with HDTV Out Jitter

Thanks Doug. That modeline results in little or no change. Are you doing
960X540p out of DVI? It appears that's where the issue is. The N frame
is about 8 pixels above the N+1 frame.  Interlacing and running at 1080i
gets the frames a little closer to each other, but not converged.

Following is the 540p modeline I use... I believe this to be close to
the ATSC standard, and so might work better for you.  If not, try using
a modeline generator program.

Modeline "540p" 39.956   960 1020 1100 1184    540  550  551 563  +hsync

+vsync # 39.956 MHz 33.75 kHz 59.94 Hz
