Hrmm.. I'm getting no-where. The xorg.conf options above work like a
champ, producing excellent MythVideo and menus, but when I bring up
current recordings they, well, look awful. Horizontal interlace lines
are visible during moderate motion, the colors seem a bit off (red is
blasted out), and the picture appears somewhat grainy.. or maybe
grainy/snowy (not sure how to describe it). Changing the interlace from
"detect" to "interlaced" makes no difference.
Now, via S-Video, the current recordings look good, but at the sacrifice
of everything else. (man, 720p menus look crystal clear)
I'm not sure what else to try/check... Anyone have any ideas?
