[mythtv-users] Recording playback wavy/shaky with new TV...

[Andrew Koebbe]

I'm a log time reader, first time poster.

So I finally gave in and replaced my CRT TV with a 1080p LCD. I've got my
frontend box plugged in via the VGA connector (I haven't picked up a DVI to
HDMI cord yet).

The frontend UI looks great, but when I play a recording the horizontal
lines are offset and shaking. The recordings are untranscoded ATSC OTA
captures. If I watch the mpeg file in VLC it works just fine, but if I put
VLC in full screen mode, the shaky lines comeback.

I tried putting Myth frontend in windowed mode and shrank the size down.
When I did that, the video plays correctly. So it seems that full screen
playback is the problem.

When playing back a recording in fullscreen in Myth the OSD does not shake,
only the Video. I've tried other payback profiles, but to no avail.

The video card is a Nvidia 5200 and I'm using a DVI to VGA converter on the
frontend box, in case either of those things mean anything.

I understand that this really isn't an issue with Myth, but I was hoping
that someone else has dealt with this and has any suggestions.

Thanks.
