RE: [mythtv-users] TV Playback Quality Problem
SNIP I get consistent poor quality tv playback on my new mythtv frontend. These problems are twofold. First, the quality is just crummy, with horizontal lines as if it was getting poor reception off the air. The second is that there are a lot of decoding glitches, like areas of picture not updating when they should so there is a distorted picture. I can play back the same recordings on my windows machine, and they don't show either the general poor quality, or the decoding distortion, so I believe it is really a playback problem. Also, I can play back divx videos (such as ripped dvds) on the mythbox and they come out very clean and sharp. I'm wondering where I should start troubleshooting this? The video card is an on-board SiS that has an mpeg2 decoder. I'm wondering if maybe it's using the hardware decoder which may not be the best? If so, is there a way to get it to not use the onboard decoder and decode in software as it is with the divx? /SNIP Are the horizontal lines a result of not deinterlacing the playback? If you haven't already, walk through the setup menu to TV to playback (I can't remember the menu path). One the 1st screen you can set deinterlacing on and select the algorithm.

Re: [mythtv-users] TV Playback Quality Problem
Todd, No, it's being deinterlaced. I've gone through as well and tried all the different deinterlacing algorythms, and they didn't make any difference. I also tried the, erm... libmpeg or something. The non-default mpeg library, which actually made things worse in terms of artifacts.
