I slowed the shutter down as much as I could but there are still a few
artifacts in the pictures but hopefully these will indicate the problem
I'm having...

screwed up = Mythtv menus unreadable due to scan lines be overlaid, one on
top of another or maybe in the wrong order. I also get vertical banding
but I can't suss out an algorithm that would describe it. I'll have a go
at taking a couple of pix tonight and put onto my web site.

interlace problem I think = not having seen an interlace problem since the
days of 405 line TV (yup, I'm that old!!) I'm guessing. I see no change to
the timing of the horizontal sync as I change displayed items but my
'scope doesn't have the resolution to see small changes in frame sync.
I'll see if I can borrow a digital 'scope from work and check the signals
again.

Its very odd that watching direct TV, replaying a program both in Mythtv
or a video in mplayer or DVD in xine are all perfectly OK. Its just the
Mythtv menus that are "screwed up"!!

[mythtv-users] TV won't sync in Mythtv menus

2005-07-15 Thread Robin Gilks
Greetings

An odd one here on an Epia SP13000 m/b. Watching TV, playing back a
recording, watching video (mplayer) or DVD (Xine) are all fine when I use
the Unichrome driver in 720x576NoScale mode but the Mythtv menus are
screwed up - interlace problem I think.

Is there a way in Mythtv of setting the interlace mode in anything other
than the player so that the menus come out right? (the same applies to
MythMusic etc as I assume this is not using the Epia accelerated graphics
engine)

Cheers
