i converted a dvd to x264 with handbrake (fringe season 1 disk 1 - PAL)
i then decided to watch an episode on my nice big samsung tv
as i don't currently have a frontend there i used upnp to an xbox 360
the quality was absolutely fantastic - nearly as good as HD
i watched the next episode on my desktop machine with myth
the quality was nowhere near as good
so i had a look at the same episode using mplayer and xine
the quality as good
the effect i observed was of accumulated errors - which would disappear
every 5 seconds or so - only to start building up
it seemed to be in areas of slow movement - like a face in closeup
is this a known problem?
machine is an Athlon 64 x2
running a pretty recent trunk build (#24017)
