I'm not sure if I'm seeing the same problem.  I am using xvmc (with the
chroma key changes to provide a color OSD) and have a problem where the OSD
doesn't go away when watching HDTV recordings, but does in SDTV.  This is a
new behavior in the SVN since 0.19 (I'm currently running SVN 9441, but just
tried again yesterday with SVN 9726 and see the same behavior).

Now I wouldn't describe this as "fading" or a watermark, it just remains on
the screen at full brightness and regardless of which of OSD displays (bar
or program description) is showing.  I am currently just hitting Info three
times to remove it (the first puts up the usual bar, then the description,
and the third finally clears it).

It does seem like there is a brief stutter at the 3 second mark (similar,
for me, to the SDTV OSD fading) like mythtv is removing the OSD, but it
remains in full view.

Is this consistent with the behavior you are describing?  As near as I can
tell, I have the problem 100% of the time on HDTV content and 0% of the time
on non-HDTV.

Thanks,
