I'm still seeing the problem that I reported a week or so ago. I took
some pictures to show the effect. Hopefully someone knows something.
Interestingly enough it is also causing the same effect on the OSD.

(There is some bluring due to difficulties in taking the picture, as I
didn't have the tripod around. It really does look like that tho)
I've tried different nvidia drivers (7664, 7167, 6629) no difference.
I'm not sure what else to try.

I see wierd horizontal striping every 1/2 an inch or so. There is a
jagged green area on the left (and covering parts of the picture). It
sort of makes the picture shimmer. It's semi-watchable if you can
ignore the effect (aka it doens't obstruct the picture).
This only appears on my NBC broadcasts (and PBS too i think). I think
this means it's on 1080i broadcasts. Fox & ABC are crystal clear. I
don't get CBS right now. I believe that it also appears on upconvered
material, ie the news was the same way last night. I only see it on
one of my frontend which happens to have an amd64 using 64bit gentoo.
So I'm assuming that it has something to do with that. I'm also
assuming that it's related to the fact that he signal is interlaced.
The recording itself is fine, ie I can play it upstairs on a different
frontend.
The machine is an AMD64 3500+, nvidia fx5300 connected DVI to a 2005FPW
flat panel. I have also had this problem connected to a 50+ rp-lcd tv.
I have tried various combinations of opengl vsync and various deints
(kernel/bob). Not using xvmc (never got it to work on this machine),
processor utilization is ~50-60%
This *has* worked beautifully before. I don't know why/how it has
changed. At one point I believed that it was mmx related, but now it
seems to be independent. I have tried actively disabling mmx in the
config. The only thing this now accomplishes is to increase my cpu util
> 90-100%. I've seen this effect using various cvs builds on this
machine since before 0.18
