</div>Modeline has been a sore point with me and my Nvidia driver. Usually the<br>
driver will pick a 1080i modeline for my TV, no matter what you do with<br>
modeline, unless it happens to match an existing EDID entry. I need to<br>
write a custom EDID file.<br>
<br>
I did get a little closer to success. I found that if I disabled<br>
TwinMode and use VLC in full screen at 1080i, all progressive source<br>
problems go away. I disabled LCD in Myth so I could get an idea of CPU<br>
usage. In VLC it is around 5% and a steady picture, and with<br>
mythfrontend it is more like 50% with shearing in motion shots, so I<br>
have to see what the difference is. I assume it must have something to<br>
do with the display settings in Myth.<br>
<br>
I was using Nvidia's Twinmode to I could switch back and forth between<br>
an RGB monitor and the HDTV when I wanted to select an application.<br>
It's much easier without that pesky 50 pixels of overscan at each edge<br>
with my HDTV. And I have tried adjusting the set, but I run into all<br>
kinds of distortion at the edges of the picture if I don't overscan.<br>
