This probably wont help Gary but I think you can adjust the Myth screen position in mythsetup. Maybe that will help some.<br><br>Micheal can you pass me your 1920x1080 modeline so I can give it a try . Everything that I am trying is telling me out of bounds for my screen. Thanks for helping out.

From: Steve Adeff <<a href="mailto:adeffs@gmail.com">adeffs@gmail.com</a>><br>>If your TV is 1080p then its best native mode will be 1080p. Unless your TV<br>>has a Faroudja scaler, and possibly even if it does, you'll want to run
<br>>your<br>>video card output at 1920x1080 and have MythTV, etc, output at this<br>>resolution.<br>><br>>Some caveats:<br>>Some TV's have native modes for SD at 480p which if any of your SD signals<br>
>are<br>>noisy you might want to have Myth output at these lower native resolutions<br>>since scaling can make the picture look really bad.<br>><br>>For things like DVD's, digital cable sources (even if run through a PVR
<br>>card's<br>>S-Video), and of course HD material, go ahead and have Myth/MPlayer/Xine<br>>scale them to 1920x1080. The software scaling will be as good if not better<br>>than the internal scaler on your TV, and since these sources will be
<br>>realitvely free of signal noise(with the PVR material being the worst, even<br>>when its clean) scaling to 1080p will definitely be the way to go.<br>><br>>When playing back DVD's with MPlayer or Xine, give a try using their IVTC
<br>>filter. The one to use with MPlayer is "-vf pullup,softskip", I'll gander<br>>Xine has a similar one, though I haven't played around with Xine in a<br>>while.<br>>This should, in realtime do the best inverse-telecine for outputting to a
<br>>progressive display. Worth a try.<br>><br>>--<br>>Steve<br><br>I am struggling with my display config as well. I am running an AMD XP2600<br>(mythtv 0.18.1.20050523-1 from atrpms), Dvico Fusion 5 Gold (cable, QAM and
<br>analog), Nvidia 6200 (7676 drivers), component out (1280x720p) to Sony LCD<br>HDTV. Fusion-tuned HD material is good, but SD looks terrible compared to<br>that produced by the TV's tuner, or my old Series 1 Tivo. Now maybe a
<br>different SD tuner would help (I am thinking about a PVR-500), but for now<br>this is what I have to work with.<br><br>In addition to the poor SD quality, I am unable to run with XvMC disabled.<br>I have read of others with similar hardware having success wthout it, and I
<br>would also like to do the same if possible to smooth out channel changes and<br>OSD. I tried a variety of different settings for deinterlacing etc. but<br>nothing was watchable without XvMC due to severe studdering.<br>
<br>The last issue (so far) is that some (but not all) of the config screens are<br>being cut off at the bottom by varying amounts, in some cases the entire row<br>of 'back', 'next' etc. buttons are completely off screen. Every screen size
<br>setting I have found is set for 1280x720, and my KDE desktop is displayed<br>properly.<br><br>My TV has good deinterlacing/scaling abilities. Is there a way to tell<br>Myth/Nvidia to output the video unchanged? If so, and it makes sense to do
<br>it, that might improve the SD picture and performance issues. If this is<br>not possible, what other options do I have? Different versions of myth or<br>the nvidia drivers? Config changes? Other than the obvious ones in setup,
<br>I am lost on where to look/what to change.<br><br>The bottom line is that I have most of it working, but as a Linux/Mythtv<br>newbie, I think I have come as far as I can with Google and howto's.<br><br>Gary<br><br><br>
