[mythtv-users] Slightly poor DVD playback with MII 12000?

[Piers Kittel]

Gordon,

Have installed the new unichrome driver and it seems to be working, the 
DVD playback seems a bit better, but not 100% perfect and not quite 
statisfactory - watching apocalyspe now seems to have tiny little jerks 
but very rapid as if once every frame, and Futurama shows a very werid 
ghosting effect, as if I'm watching it on an old DSTN LCD screen ;) 
Also panning isn't perfectly smooth, jerks rapidly a little bit.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much for your help in advance again

Cheers - Piers
