[mythtv] [mythtv-commits] Ticket #2916: Internal DVD - screen displayed twice and compressed vertically

[David Asher]

I don't think so.  I believe NBC is simply mislabeling interlaced frames 
as progressive.  I think it would make playback even worse.

At one point I (foolishly?) hoped that NBC was actually transmitting 
everything as telecined content, but that pattern didn't hold up 
either.  I think the only reasonable way to fix it is to do as you're 
doing now and switch it out of auto-detect.

In the archives someone suggested a per-channel setting to say what 
video scan to use, but I think one of the powers that be shot the idea down.

David.
