Media Library->Watch Recordings.
Turning on "CPU friendly preview of recordings" helps, as it then only uses 60% cpu. But since all other display of video only uses 20%, and this is the only display that has tearing and uses 95% (or 60%) cpu, I'm thinking the preview is not using XvMC like the others.
-MichaelI'm not one of the dev guys, just a (l)user but it seems to me that what you are describing is perfectly natural. The main screen is displaying the recorded OSD and generating a preview which it has to scale down to fit in a small size, the CPU load is more because it is doing more things at the same time.

I would have thought the same thing, except that the live TV in the EPG is scaled and inserted into an OSD, and that uses the same 20% cpu for me. So I would assume that displaying an mpeg2 preview on an OSD would be no different. But looking at the code, I got lost, and realized that it would take me a lot of studying to get up to speed. So if I was doing something stupid causing it not to work, or if it can't work for some technical reason, I'd find some simpler thing to try and tweak first, that had a lower learning curve.
